One of the persistent challenges in industry is achieving a balance between uninterrupted production and minimizing inventory-holding costs—an objective that traditional inventory management methods often fail to meet due to their weaknesses in forecasting irregular demand and overlooking operational constraints. In this study, we attempt to provide an integrated solution to this problem by combining accurate demand forecasting with mathematical modeling. A key strength of the proposed model is its flexibility in selecting the procurement method; that is, the system can choose the optimal option between regular purchasing and emergency purchasing based on prevailing conditions. In designing the model, real-world constraints—such as budget limits (for both critical and non-critical items) and warehouse capacity—are precisely incorporated, and the safety stock level dynamically adjusts according to demand fluctuations. The results obtained from implementing the model on data from 60 items indicate that moving away from one-dimensional policies and adopting a hybrid strategy leads to cost reduction and improved system stability, even under financial and space limitations.
