2.5.3 Optimal Bayesian <strong>plans</strong> in situation where p ′ i/p i ’s are not same for all i<br />

Table 2.5.2<br />

For r = 3, let p ′ 1 = 0.01, p ′ 2 = 0.04, p ′ 3 = 0.10, p ′ 1/p 1 = 5, p ′ 2/p 2 = 5, p ′ 3/p 3 = 3 and we take<br />

γ 1 = 1, γ 2 = 0.7.<br />

Since p ′ 1/p 1 = p ′ 2/p 2 = 5 from the results of Theorem 2.3.4, we must have a 1 = a 2 for the<br />

optimal A plan.<br />

Note that in this case p ′ (2) /p (2) = 5 and p ′ /p = 3.462 . Thus, for k ≥ 4 we find the inequality<br />

(p ′ (2) /p (2)) k > (p ′ /p) (k+1) satisfied. This means there exists an A plan cheaper than<br />

the optimal D plan for which the k value is greater than or equal to 4. (Theorem 2.3.1).<br />

Table 2.5.2 presents the parameters of the optimal D plan, optimal A plan and the corresponding<br />

regret values for lot sizes 1000 (1000) 10000. Note that for all the optimal A <strong>plans</strong>,<br />

a 1 = a 2 and a 3 > a 2 . This table also gives the parameters of the optimal C plan and the<br />

corresponding regret value, which is higher than that of the optimal D plan and the optimal<br />

A plan.<br />

Table 2.5.3:<br />

For r = 3 let p ′ 1 = 0.01, p ′ 2 = 0.04, p ′ 3 = 0.10, p ′ 1/p 1 = 8, p ′ 2/p 2 = 5, and p ′ 3/p 3 = 3. Let, γ 1 = 1,<br />

and γ 2 = 0.7<br />

In this case p ′ (1) /p (1) = 8 and p ′ (2) /p (2) = 5.405 and p ′ /p = 3.523. For k > 2 the inequality<br />

(p ′ (2) /p (2)) k > (p ′ /p) (k+1) is satisfied. This means there exists an A plan cheaper than the<br />

optimal D plan for which the k value is greater than 2.( Theorem 2.3.1 )<br />

Also by Theorem 2.3.3, a 3 > a 2 for a 3 > 2.<br />

Further, (p ′ (1) /p (1)) a 2 > (p ′ (2) /p (2)) a 2+1 for a 2 > 4 and hence a 2 > a 1 for a 2 > 4.<br />

Table 2.5.3 presents the parameters of the optimal D plan, optimal A plan and the corresponding<br />

regret values for lot sizes 1000 (1000) 10000. Note that for all the optimal A <strong>plans</strong><br />

a 2 > a 1 and a 3 > a 2 .<br />

This table also gives the parameters of the optimal C plan and the corresponding regret<br />

value, which is higher than that of the optimal D plan and the optimal A plan.<br />

The annexures contains Microsoft Visual Basic Programmes used to construct the optimal<br />

<strong>plans</strong>.<br />
