Base-stock control for single-product tandem make-to-stock systems

Duenyas, Izak; Patana-Anake, Prayoon - 1997

In this paper, we consider a multiple-stage tandem production/inventory system producing a single product. Processing time at each stage is assumed to have a general stationary processing time distribution. The cost of holding work-in-process (WIP) inventory is different at each stage....
