摘要

Computer implemented system for estimating the demand dependent unit stockout cost b_ij=b(&lgr;_ij) of an i^th consumer item at a j^th location of a single period inventory system as a function of its unit retail price p_ij, its unit production cost c_ij, its unit return cost g_ij and its mean demand &lgr;_ij, stockout cost application therefor, and method therefor.
