Abstract

Considering carbon emission in inventory management model is a hot topic in current academic circles. Studying inventory pricing can provide managers with better managerial insights. Economic order quantity model mainly solves the inventory management problem of demand determination. However, due to the complex market environment in real life, it is difficult to meet the conditions of constant demand. In addition, with the enhancement of low-carbon awareness of enterprises, the study of pricing model based on low-carbon policies has also attracted the attention of a large number of scholars. The robust optimization theory is applied, the inventory pricing model of demand fluctuation under carbon cap, carbon tax and carbon cap-and-trade policies is considered, the robust equivalence form of the problem is studied. The profit comparison under different policies is given. Numerical experiments show that the carbon cap-and-trade policy can better control the carbon emission of enterprises.
