Optimal Delivery Time Guarantee Decision with Sale Price and Indemnity Cost-sensitive Delivery Time under Delivery Time-sensitive Demand
Pages 221 - 225
Abstract
The popularity of e-commerce has brought more attention of enterprises. By making a commitment of delivery time, enterprises can effectively attract customers. Based on the setting, from the perspective of a retailer facing the end customer, this study analyzes delivery time problem and constructs a mathematical model for seeking the retailer's optimal delivery time strategy. Combining the actual situation, the paper introduces the dependence of sale price and indemnity cost on delivery time into the model. A numerical example with sensitivity analysis is provided to obtain the retailer's optimal profit and delivery time guarantee.
