A staggered ordering model for push demand case in a supply chain of the confectionery industry: a case study

Reddy, K. Balaji; Narayanan, S.; Raju, S.R. - In: International Journal of Business Performance Management 13 (2012) 1, pp. 87-102

The primary goal of inventory management is to optimise the flow and distribution of goods among warehouses and retailers so as to maximise the overall benefit across the supply chain. In this paper, a staggered ordering model is considered for a push demand case in a confectionery industry with...

A Single-Item Inventory Model for a Nonstationary Demand Process

Graves, Stephen C. - In: Manufacturing & Service Operations Management 1 (1999) 1, pp. 50-61

In this paper, we consider an adaptive base-stock policy for a single-item inventory system, where the demand process is nonstationary. In particular, the demand process is an integrated moving average process of order (0, 1, 1), for which an exponential-weighted moving average provides the...
