Whenever demand for a single item can be categorized into classes of different priority, an inventory rationing policy …-called critical level policy is applied to ration the inventory among the two demand classes. With this policy, low--priority demand … is rejected in anticipation of future high--priority demand whenever the inventory level is at or below a prespecified …

In this chapter we discuss inventory systems where several demand classes may be distinguished. In particular, we focus … on single-location inventory systems and we analyse the use of a so-called critical level policy. With this policy some … inventory is reserved for high-priority demand. A number of practical examples where several demand classes naturally arise are …

In this paper the effect of the break quantity rule on the inventory costs in a 1-warehouse, N-retailers distribution …, an expression for the inventory costs is derived. The objective of this paper is to provide insight into the effect of … the break quantity rule on the inventory holding costs, and therefore we present extensive computational results, showing …
