Abstract

See full text

Techniques for managing a removal channel may be described. In an example, a first estimate may be generated. The first estimate may be associated with removing a volume of items from an inventory space within a planning horizon through a removal channel. A decision to remove the volume of items may be accessed. The decision may be based on the first estimate and a second estimate associated with adding a capacity for inventorying an equivalent volume of items. Based on the decision, a constraint may be generated and imposed on an inventory level of an item during a time period of the planning horizon. A quantity of the item to remove within the time period through the removal channel may be estimated based on the constraint. Usage of the removal channel during the time period may be set based on the quantity of the item to remove.
