Abstract :
The inventory decision under demand uncertainty has long been a hot issue in both academic researches and management practices. Many scholars have done a lot of researches in this area. An evidence combination method based on evidence theory is introduced in this paper, in order to find a new way to solve this problem. A numerical example is also given in this paper to demonstrate the validity of this new method.
