multi-echelon inventory systems are one of the most important and attractive areas in modelling supply chain management so that several researches and studies have been done about. in this paper, the total cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with central warehouse and many identical retailers controlled by continuous review inventory policy is estimated. we have assumed the demand i...

We propose a tactical model which integrates the replenishment decision in inventory management, the allocation of products to warehousing systems and the assignment of products to storage locations in warehousing management. The purpose of this article is to analyse the value of integrating warehouse and inventory decisions. This is achieved by proposing two methods for solving this tactical i...

this paper presents a new formulation for warehouse inventory management in a stochastic situation. the primary source of this formulation is derived from fp model, which has been proposed by fletcher and ponnambalam for reservoir management. the new proposed mathematical model is based on the first and the second moments of storage as a stochastic variable. using this model, the expected value...

As a matter of fact, the capacity of any warehouse is limited, so a firm has to hire a warehouse called rented warehouse (RW) for storing the excess units over the fixed capacity W (say) of the own warehouse (OW). Practically the RW is assumed to offer better storing facilities than the OW, which results in a lower rate of deterioration and is supposed to charge higher holding cost than the OW....

abstractin this study, a vendor-managed inventory model is developed for a single-vendor multiple-retailer single-warehouse (sv-mr-sv) supply chain problem based on the economic order quantity in which demands are stochastic and follow a uniform probability distribution. in order to reduce holding costs and to help balanced on-hand inventory cost between the vendor and the retailers, it is assu...

An Inventory Tracking System (ITS) is a control and monitoring system that tracks the flow of goods and manages assets of warehouses. ITS is commonly used in warehouse management systems. The primary goal of an ITS is to provide convenient and reliable mechanisms to manage the movement and flow of inventory in a timely manner. An ITS should enable operators to configure warehouse storage organi...

A food-processing-and-distribution company typically stores products in a warehouse before shipping them to customers. Inventory management is therefore important to the food-processing-and-distribution industry because of the large amount of products typically stored. Large amounts of stored products increase inventory cost and management cost and can reduce warehouse efficiency. Restated, inv...
