Optimal Ordering Policy for Inventory Systems with Quantity-Dependent Setup Costs
We consider a continuous-review inventory system in which the setup cost of each order is a general function of the order quantity and the demand process is modeled as a Brownian motion with a positive drift. Assuming the holding and shortage cost to be a convex function of the inventory level, we obtain the optimal ordering policy that minimizes the long-run average cost by a lower bound appro...
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 کاملApproximation Algorithms for Perishable Inventory Systems with Setup Costs
We develop the first approximation algorithm for periodic-review perishable inventory systems with setup costs. The ordering lead time is zero. The model allows for correlated demand processes which generalize the well-known approaches to model dynamic demand forecast updates. The structure of optimal policies for this fundamental class of problems is not known in the literature. Thus, finding ...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Capacitated Stochastic Inventory Systems with Setup Costs
We develop the first approximation algorithm with worst-case performance guarantee for capacitated stochastic periodic-review inventory systems with setup costs. The structure of the optimal control policy for such systems is extremely complicated, and indeed, only some partial characterization is available. Thus, finding provably near-optimal control policies has been an open challenge. In thi...
متن کاملOn the Structure of Optimal Ordering Policies for Stochastic Inventory Systems with Minimum Order Quantity
We study a single-product periodic-review inventory model in which the ordering quantity is either zero or at least a minimum order size+ The ordering cost is a linear function of the ordering quantity, and the demand in different time periods are independent random variables+ The objective is to characterize the inventory policies that minimize the total discounted ordering, holding, and backo...
