Optimal and Near-Optimal ( s, S) Inventory Policies for Levy Demand Processes
A is a continuous-time, real-valued stochastic process which has independent and Levy jump process stationary increments, with no Brownian component. We study some of the fundamental properties of Levy jump processes and develop inventory models for them. Of particular interest to us is the gamma-distributed Levy process, in which the demand that occurs in a fixed period of time has a gamma dis...
متن کاملOptimal and near-optimal inventory control policies for a make-to-order inventory-production system
This paper examines several inventory replenishment policies for a make-to-order inventory–production system that consists of a production workshop and a warehouse. Demands arrive to the production workshop according to a Poisson process, and are processed in an FCFS manner. The production workshop requires that the warehouse provides, as needed, raw materials for use in the production process....
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 کاملOptimal Inventory Policies under Stochastic Production and Demand Rates
We consider a single stage production-inventory system whose production and demand rates are modulated by an environment process modeled as a finite state Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC). When the inventory level reaches zero, an order is placed from an external supplier, and it arrives instantaneously. We derive an Economic Order Quantity (EOQ ) policy that minimizes the long-run average c...
متن کاملOptimal Inventory Policies when Purchase Price and Demand Are Stochastic
In this paper we consider the problem of a firm that faces a stochastic (Poisson) demand and must replenish from a market in which prices fluctuate, such as a commodity market. We describe the price evolution as a continuous stochastic process and we focus on commonly used processes suggested by the financial literature, such as the geometric Brownian motion and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. ...
