we analyze the effect on inventory performance of having minimum order quantities for the different products in the joint … order, given a complex transportation cost structure. The policies suggested have been tested in a simulation model with …

influenced by the inventory process. In this paper we therefore put forward a model for consumption, where we rely on established …

In this paper an inventory model with several demand classes, prioritised according to importance, is analysed. We … consider a lot-for-lot or (S-1,S) inventory model with lost sales.<BR> For each demand class there is a critical stock level at …

In most multi-item inventory systems, the ordering costs consist of a major cost and a minor cost for each item … included. Applying for every individual item a cyclic inventory policy, where the cycle length is a multiple of some basic … discussed in this paper. It is shown that this algorithm can be used for deterministic multi-item inventory problems, with …

In this chapter we discuss a tactical optimisation problem that arises in a multistage distribution system where … marketing process, and a qualitative and quantitative analysis on the implications for the transportation and inventory costs …
