inventory variables, to effectively manage the variability. Our results hold for both single stage and multistage inventory …This paper introduces a novel way to measure the variability of order flows in supply chains, the peakedness. The … peakedness can be used to measure the variability assuming the order flow is a general point pro- cess. We show basic properties …

In this paper, we present a mathematical model which integrates tactical-operational production and distribution … decisions in a shared resources environment. More precisely, we integrate lot sizing production and distribution decisions with … the link between production and distribution decisions. Three heuristics are presented in order to solve this global model …
