El objetivo fundamental es encontrar la política de inventario con stock de seguridad para un modelo probabilístico que maximice la utilidad diaria esperada, considerando que los productos son perecederos y, por lo tanto, solo pueden estar almacenados por un máximo número de días. Se propone una metodología basada en Simulación Montecarlo. Experimentos computacionales usando instancias reales obtenidas de una compañía comercializadora de pescado en el mercado colombiano muestran la eficiencia y la efectividad de la metodología propuesta basada en la maximización de utilidad neta esperada.]]></p></abstract>

The main objective is to determine the inventory management policy with safety stock for a probabilistic model, which maximizes the expected daily profit by considering the product, by considering that the products are perishables and only could be stored for a maximum number of days. This paper proposes a methodology based on Montecarlo simulation. Computational experiments using real world data from a fish trading company in the Colombian market shows the efficiency and the effectiveness of the proposed methodology based on the maximization of the average net profit.]]></p></abstract>
