ABSTRACT
In the retail sector many traditional bricks-and-mortar companies have added online sales channels to their supply chains. Unfortunately, even though the combined e-tailer is becoming a common business model, there is very limited research addressing retail/e-tail operations. This study contributes to the literature by filling this gap and examining strategies that e-tailers can control the inventory dynamically by using the TOC methodology. The computational results indicate how specific problem characteristics influence the performance of whole system and demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed control policy.
