متن کاملOptimal and Heuristic Policies for a Multiechelon Inventory Problem with Secondary Market Sales
Most research on supply chain management deals with settings where firms do not voluntarily get rid of inventory in the system. Since voluntary inventory reductions are often observed in practice, in this paper, we propose a (multi-echelon) model where the firm can dispose of excess stock through sales in the secondary market at each stage in the supply chain. What are called nested echelon bas...
متن کاملOptimal Policy for a Multiechelon Inventory System with Remanufacturing
We analyze a multi-echelon inventory system with inventory stages arranged in series. In addition to traditional forward material flows, used products are returned to a recovery facility, where they can be stored, disposed, or remanufactured and shipped to one of the stages to reenter the forward flow of material. This system combines the key elements of two simpler systems: the series system s...
متن کاملOptimal Policies for Multiechelon Inventory Problems with Markov-Modulated Demand
This paper considers a multistage serial inventory system with Markov-modulated demand. Random demand arises at Stage 1, Stage 1 orders from Stage 2, etc., and Stage N orders from an outside supplier with unlimited stock. The demand distribution in each period is determined by the current state of an exogenous Markov chain. Excess demand is backlogged. Linear holding costs are incurred at every...
متن کاملA Single-Unit Decomposition Approach to Multiechelon Inventory Systems
We show the optimality of state-dependent echelon base-stock policies in uncapacitated serial inventory systems with Markov-modulated demand and Markov-modulated stochastic lead times in the absence of order crossing. Our results cover finite-time horizon problems as well as infinite-time horizon formulations, with either a discounted or an average cost criterion. We employ a novel approach, ba...
