This paper considers an infinite horizon stochastic production planning problem with the constraint that production rate must be nonnegative. It is shown that an optimal feedback solution exists for the problem. Moreover, this solution is characterized and is then compared with the solution of...

Information delays exist in an inventory system when it takes time to collect, process, validate, and transmit inventory/demand data. A general framework is developed in this paper to describe information flows in an inventory system with information delays. We characterize the suffcient...
