We consider optimal inventory replenishment policies for capacitated 2-echelon serial inventory systems, where the …

In this paper, we study a hybrid RDC-DC serial inventory system where the RDC replenishes its stock from an outside … system, the DC itself can replenish its inventory from the outside supplier as well. We propose two simple and easy …

Although holding inventory has been shown to mitigate a firm's disruption exposure … decreasing at a decreasing rate with the inventory quantity of the disrupted part. More surprisingly, the firm's disruption … exposure is decreasing at a decreasing rate with the inventory quantity of non-disrupted parts. We exploit these findings to …

The paper develops a simple theoretical model of inventory control in global supply chains. It identifies a role for … intermediaries in managing inventory, and shows that inserting an intermediary as an additional link in a supply chain is profitable … when demand volatility is high. It also provides conditions under which the intermediary handling inventory is located in …

A model is built to study the impact of the variance of demand on the supply chain inventory and also to identify the … best arrangement of the inventory policy across the supply chain.

This paper considers inventory models of the order-quantity/order-point type, or (Q,r) models. In general the control …

A model is built in order to study the impact of variance of demand on the supply chain inventory and also to identify … the best combination of the inventory policy across the supply chain.
