Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• A two-phase LSTM model forecasts both intraday and daily demand in online food delivery platforms. • The proposed model significantly reduces the bullwhip effect for Zomato and Swiggy. • Discrete event simulation using SimPy validates model performance over two years of synthetic data. • LSTM forecasts are integrated with a dynamic newsvendor model for managing perishable inventory. • The framework offers actionable insights to minimize waste, prevent stock outs, and improve service efficiency.
