Analysing divergent logistic networks with local (R, S) inventory control*
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with divergent logistic networks where the inventory at each node is controlled using a periodic review strategy with order-up-to level. An approximate method is presented to analyse the network performance (service levels, mean physical stock). The method is tested on a range of Z-echelon and 3-echelon networks by comparison to results from Monte Carlo simulation. We conclude that the approximation accuracy is sufficient for global network design in many practical situations.

Multi-echelon inventory control in divergent systems with shipping frequencies
We consider inventory control in a two-echelon divergent network, consisting of a central depot and multiple (non-identical) local warehouses. Past research has shown that (R, S) order-up-to control rules for this system type can easily be obtained using a decomposition approach, where the derivation of the order-up-to level S is separated from the derivation of the rationing parameters. We sho...

In today’s dynamic market numerous dynamic influencing factors have seriously aggravates the difficulties of inventory planning of the complex distribution networks. This paper proposes a simulation-based hybrid approach for the optimization of the inventory policies in complex distribution networks. The initial multi-echelon inventory policies are handed over to a simulation model, which is ca...

Background: Cross-border reproductive care (CBRC) refers to the movement of patients to foreign countriesfor fertility treatment.

This paper provides a conceptual framework for analysing trust and power in the internal relationships of the organization. It adopts a neo-institutionalist view focussing on the structural inventory and the social embeddedness of the organization in the process of developing trust between its individual members. It is suggested that, based on specific combinations of factors rooted in the inte...
