Abstract

The decision making process is becoming very complex, especially when it comes to
the problem of enterprise restructuring. Intelligent solutions have to be utilized in
order to cope efficiently with this issue. For this purpose the model for enterprise
restructuring, named as COMPASS was developed. It aims to systematise the complex
process of enterprise restructuring and to attach appropriate methods in the key
decision making points, supporting the industry praxis with robust, scientifically
founded, but practical and easy to use methods/tools. COMPASS is meant to be under
continuous development. Now, the improvement of the process of generation of
success factors (as a dominantly heuristic activity) and the optimization of the
simulation process are the focal points. Here, the improvement of the generation of
success factors through an application of finite-stage Markov decision processes
(MDP) in the inventory problem is introduced. The objective is to find the optimal
inventory policy and to determine the utility function. MDP are a flexible technique for
stochastic and dynamic optimization problems and provide a powerful tool for
optimizing performance in very different areas and their application in inventory
management is only one of the examples.
