system, consisting of one warehouse and one retailer, where the inventory at the retailer is controlled by an order up to … level policy, and where at the warehouse there is enough inventory to satisfy all orders from the retailer and the customers …

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.For each demand class there is a critical stock level at and …

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 paper we discuss a general framework for single item inventory control models. This framework is based on the …

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 …

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 …
