Provides a framework under which a variety of costs and revenues, resulting from substitution, complementarity, capacity, etc., can be identified as relevant.

L.L. Bean, Inc.: Item Forecasting and Inventory Management
Arthur Schleifer Jr.
L.L. Bean must make stocking decisions on thousands of items sold through its catalogs. In many cases, orders must be placed with vendors twelve or more weeks before a catalog lands on a customer's doorstep, and commitments cannot be changed thereafter. As a result, L.L. Bean suffers annual losses of over $20 million due to stockouts or liquidations of excess inventory. Provides a context in which buying decisions that balance costs of overstocking and understocking when demand is uncertain are made and implemented on a routine basis.
