On two-echelon inventory systems with Poisson demand and lost sales
We derive approximations for the service levels of two-echelon inventory systems with lost sales and Poisson demand. Our method is simple and accurate for a very broad range of problem instances, including cases with both high and low service levels. In contrast, existing methods only perform well for limited problem settings, or under restrictive assumptions.
متن کاملA Two-Echelon Inventory Model with Lost Sales
Almost all multi-echelon inventory models assume that demand not satis ed immediately can be backordered. In some situations this assumption is not realistic. For example, it may be more representative to model stockouts as lost sales when the retailers are in a competitive market and customers can easily turn to another rm when purchasing the good. Assuming lost sales at the retailers, we cons...
متن کاملA two-echelon inventory model with lost sales
This paper considers a single-item, two-echelon, continuous-review inventory model. A number of retailers have their stock replenished from a central warehouse. The warehouse in turn replenishes stock from an external supplier. The demand processes on the retailers are independent Poisson. Demand not met at a retailer is lost. The order quantity from each retailer on the warehouse and from the ...
متن کاملCost Evaluation of a Two-Echelon Inventory System with Lost Sales and Approximately Normal Demand
The inventory system under consideration consists of one central warehouse and an arbitrary number of retailers controlled by a continuous review inventory policy (R;Q). Independent Poisson demands are assumed with constant transportation times for all retailers and a constant lead time for replenishing orders from an external supplier for the warehouse. Unsatis ed demands are assumed to be los...
متن کاملProduction-Inventory Systems with Lost Sales and Compound Poisson Demands
This paper considers a continuous-review, single-product production-inventory system with a constant replenishment rate, compound Poisson demands and lost-sales. Two objective functions that represent metrics of operational costs are considered: (1) the sum of the expected discounted inventory holding costs and lost-sales penalties, both over an infinite time horizon, given an initial inventory...
