Optimal Policies for Multi-Echelon Inventory Problems with Batch Ordering
In many production=distribution systems, materials !ow from one stage to another in %xed lot sizes. For example, a retailer orders a full truckload from a manufacturer to qualify for a quantity discount; a factory has a material handling system that moves full containers of parts from one production stage to the next. In this paper, we derive optimal policies for multi-stage serial and assembly...
متن کاملOptimal Policies for Inventory Systems with Concave Ordering Costs
In this paper we characterize the structure of optimal policies for periodic review inventory systems with concave ordering costs. By extending the Scarf (1958) model to systems with piecewise linear concave ordering costs, we show the optimality of generalized (s, S) policies for general demand distributions. We do so by (a) introducing a conditional monotonicity property for the order-up-to l...
متن کاملComputing globally optimal (s,S,T) inventory policies
We consider a single-echelon inventory installation under the (s,S,T) periodic review ordering policy. Demand is stationary random and, when unsatisfied, is backordered. Under a standard cost structure, we seek to minimize total average cost in all three policy variables; namely, the reorder level s, the order-up-to level S and the review interval T. Considering time to be continuous, we first ...
متن کاملOptimal 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 کاملApproximate Analysis of Batch Ordering Policies in Distribution Inventory Systems
We have considered a distribution inventory system with one warehouse and several retailers. Customer demand arrives at the retailers and the material flow between echelons is driven by reorder point/order quantity inventory control policies. Our objective is to calculate the long-run inventory statistics. The challenge in this system is to characterize the demand arrival process at the warehou...
