This paper extends a fundamental result about single-item inventory systems. This approach allows more general performance measures, demand processes and order policies, and leads to easier analysis and implementation, than prior research. We obtain closed form expressions for the Laplace...

In this paper we consider a two level decentralized distribution system, consisting of one warehouse and N retailers. The warehouse and each retailer follows each his own (s,nQ) order policy. We extended the models as known in the literature to compound renewal demand.

In this paper we consider stochastic processes with an embedded Harris chain. The embedded Harris chain describes the dependence structure of the stochastic process. That is, all the relevant information of the past is contained in the state of the embedded Harris chain. For these processes we...

This article is a continuation of the paper "Inventory Control and Regenerative processes: Theory" (Bazsa et al.; 1998) and presents closed form expressions for Laplace transforms associated with the cost functions of the classical single item inventory models with indivisible items, a fixed...

In this paper we will discuss a general framework for single item inventory models based on the theory of regenerative processes. After presenting without proof the main theorems for regenerative processes we analyze in detail how the different single item models can be embedded within this...

In this article a single item inventory model with backlogging is analyzed, which is a generalization of the most well-known simple models. This formulation enables us to separate the analysis of the system to the analysis of the control rule (reduced to the analysis of a Markov chain) and of...

The most recent optimization algorithm for (s,S) order policies with continuous demand was developed by Federgruen and Zipkin (1985). This was also the first efficient algorithm, which uses policy iteration instead of discretization. Zheng and Federgruen (1991) developed an even more efficient...
