Inventory Theory
W to begin? I became involved with inventory theory in 1955, but the proper starting point for this memoir is some years earlier, in the fall of 1951, when I began my graduate training in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. I had lived at home during my undergraduate years at Temple University and was totally unprepared for the remarkable features of life at Princeton in the ...
متن کاملApplication of queuing theory in inventory systems with substitution flexibility
Considering the competition in today’s business environment, tactical planning of a supply chain becomes more complex than before. In many multi-product inventory systems, substitution flexibility can improve profits. This paper aims to prepare a comprehensive substitution inventory model, where an inventory system with two substitute products with ignorable lead time has been considered, and e...
متن کاملApplication of queuing theory in production-inventory optimization
This paper presents a mathematical model for an inventory control system in which customers’ demands and suppliers’ service time are considered as stochastic parameters. The proposed problem is solved through queuing theory for a single item. In this case, transitional probabilities are calculated in steady state. Afterward, the model is extended to the case of multi-item inventory systems. The...
متن کاملA Robust Optimization Approach to Inventory Theory
We propose a general methodology based on robust optimization to address the problem of optimally controlling a supply chain subject to stochastic demand in discrete time. This problem has been studied in the past using dynamic programming, which suffers from dimensionality problems and assumes full knowledge of the demand distribution. The proposed approach takes into account the uncertainty o...
متن کاملPlatelet pool inventory management: theory meets practice.
BACKGROUND The shelf life of platelet concentrates (PCs) is a matter of days. Simultaneously, the demand is highly variable, shortages are not allowed, and producing too many results in outdating. Concurrently, younger PCs, implying an extended time till outdating (TTO), are preferred. Common PC inventory management relies on experience-based order-up-to rules. This study aimed at minimizing ou...
