The (R, s, S) is a stochastic inventory control policy widely used by practitioners. In an inventory system managed according to this policy, the inventory is reviewed at instant R; if the observed inventory position is lower than the reorder level s an order is placed. The order’s quantity is...

In this paper, we develop a unified mixed integer linear modelling approach to compute near-optimal policy parameters for the non-stationary stochastic lot sizing problem under static–dynamic uncertainty strategy. The proposed approach applies to settings in which unmet demand is backordered...
