Optimal Continuous Order Quantity (s,s) Policies
Bázsa, Emöke; den Iseger, Peter - 2001
The most recent optimization algorithm for (s, S) order policies with continuous demand was developed byFedergruen and Zipkin (1985). This was also the first efficient algorithm, which uses policy iteration instead ofdiscretization. Zheng and Federgruen (1991) developed an even more efficient...

Service Parts Inventory Control with Lateral Transshipment that takes Time
Yang, Guangyuan; Dekker, Rommert - 2010
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...

Integrating Pricing and Inventory Control: Is it Worth the Effort?
Gimpl-Heersink, Lisa; Rudloff, Christian; Fleischmann, … - In: BuR - Business Research 1 (2008) 1, pp. 106-123
In this paper we first show that the gains achievable by integrating pricing and inventory control are usually small for classical demand functions. We then introduce reference price models and demonstrate that for this class of demand functions the benefits of integration with inventory control...
