Inventory Cost Effect of Consolidating Several One-Warehouse Multiretailer Systems
In this article we present an interesting result on consolidating several one-warehouse multiretailer systems with deterministic customer demands. We examine the inventory cost impact of decreasing the number of warehouses used (by possibly re-assigning retailers to other warehouses). We prove that (i) using only two properly selected warehouses, we can ensure that the system-wide inventory cos...
متن کاملA Staggered Ordering Policy for One-Warehouse, Multiretailer Systems
We consider a one-warehouse, N-identical-retailer model. Random demands occur at the retailers with complete backlogging. The retailers replenish their inventories from the warehouse, which in turn orders from an outside supplier with unlimited stock. Each retailer places an order every N periods according to a base-stock policy, and the reorder intervals of the retailers are staggered so that ...
متن کاملOne-Warehouse Multiretailer Systems with Centralized Stock Information
We consider a distribution system with a central warehouse and multiple retailers. The warehouse orders from an outside supplier and replenishes the retailers which in turn satisfy customer demand. The retailers are nonidentical, and their demand processes are independent compound Poisson. There are economies of scale in inventory replenishment, which is controlled by an echelon-stock, batch-tr...

متن کاملA Power-of-Two Ordering Policy for One-Warehouse Multiretailer Systems with Stochastic Demand
We study a two-echelon supply chain with one warehouse and N (nonidentical) retailers facing stochastic demand. An easy-to-implement inventory policy, the so-called power-of-two (POT) policy, is proposed to manage inventory for the system. To maintain a certain service level, safety stocks are kept at the warehouse and each retailer outlet to buffer random demand. Our analysis highlights the im...
