cycle time, reduces the major ordering costs. An efficient algorithm to determine the optimal policy of this type is … discussed in this paper. It is shown that this algorithm can be used for deterministic multi-item inventory problems, with … linear cost rate functions. Numerical results for this case show that the algorithm significantly outperforms other solution …

This article studies specific aspects of the joint replenishment problem in a realsupply chain setting. Particularly we analyze the effect on inventory performance of havingminimum order quantities for the different products in the joint order, given a complextransportation cost structure. The...

In equipment-intensive industries such as truck manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, photo copiers,and airliners, service parts are often slow moving items for which, in some cases, the transshipment timeis not negligible. However, this aspect is hardly considered in the existing spare...

In this chapter we discuss a tactical optimisation problem that arises in a multistage distribution system where customer orders can be delivered from any stockpoint. A simple rule to allocate orders to locations is a break quantity rule, which routes large orders to higher-stage stockpoints and...
