用深度强化学习优化农产品供应链库存,应对需求和配送不确定性。

Adaptive Inventory Strategies using Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Agri-Food Supply Chains

  • 结合价值与策略型强化学习,动态决策连续订单量。
  • 在随机需求与配送延迟下,提升整体供应链利润。
  • 适合关注农业供应链协同与智能库存管理的从业者。

农产品受生产与需求季节性波动影响,库存管理面临挑战,常导致库存过剩或断货。现有研究未充分考虑供应链各层级利益相关者的协同。本文针对需求与配送周期不确定性下的农产品库存问题,提出一种融合值函数与策略型深度强化学习的新型算法,通过联合优化目标实现全链条利润最大化。该算法支持连续动作空间下的最优订货量选择,同时兼顾产品保质期与不确定性因素。基于真实生鲜农产品供应链数据进行实验,结果表明该策略在随机需求与多变配送场景下显著优于传统方法,具有明确的管理实践意义,可为政策制定者提供有效库存管理工具。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Agricultural products are often subject to seasonal fluctuations in production and demand. Predicting and managing inventory levels in response to these variations can be challenging, leading to either excess inventory or stockouts. Additionally, the coordination among stakeholders at various level of food supply chain is not considered in the existing body of literature. To bridge these research gaps, this study focuses on inventory management of agri-food products under demand and lead time uncertainties. By implementing effective inventory replenishment policy results in maximize the overall profit throughout the supply chain. However, the complexity of the problem increases due to these uncertainties and shelf-life of the product, that makes challenging to implement traditional approaches to generate optimal set of solutions. Thus, the current study propose a novel Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm that combines the benefits of both value- and policy-based DRL approaches for inventory optimization under uncertainties. The proposed algorithm can incentivize collaboration among stakeholders by aligning their interests and objectives through shared optimization goal of maximizing profitability along the agri-food supply chain while considering perishability, and uncertainty simultaneously. By selecting optimal order quantities with continuous action space, the proposed algorithm effectively addresses the inventory optimization challenges. To rigorously evaluate this algorithm, the empirical data from fresh agricultural products supply chain inventory is considered. Experimental results corroborate the improved performance of the proposed inventory replenishment policy under stochastic demand patterns and lead time scenarios. The research findings hold managerial implications for policymakers to manage the inventory of agricultural products more effectively under uncertainty.
