Perishable inventory systems with impatient demands
Perry, David; Stadje, Wolfgang - In: Computational Statistics 50 (1999) 1, pp. 77-90
An inventory system for perishable commodities (PIS) with finite shelf size and finite waiting room for demands is studied; the maximum shelf life and the maximum waiting time of a demand are assumed to be either constant or exponentially distributed, and the arrival rates for items and for...

Continuous review inventory models for perishable items ordered in batches
Baron, Opher; Berman, Oded; Perry, David - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 72 (2010) 2, pp. 217-247
This paper is an in-depth treatment of an inventory control problem with perishable items. We focus on two prototypes of perishability for items that have a common shelflife and that arrive in batches with zero lead time: (i) sudden deaths due to disasters (e.g., spoilage because of extreme...

Changes in Inventories in the National Accounts
Fassler, Segismundo; Shrestha, Manik L. - International Monetary Fund (IMF) - 2003
The principles underlying the recording of changes in inventories are explained in the System of National Accounts, 1993 (1993 SNA), but operational guidelines on their measurement are lacking. This paper elaborates specific statistical techniques and their underlying assumptions for calculating...

Optimal Control of Inventory Systems with Multiple Types of Remanufacturable Products
Zhou, Sean X.; Tao, Zhijie; Chao, Xiuli - In: Manufacturing & Service Operations Management 13 (2011) 1, pp. 20-34
Product returns have become a significant feature of many manufacturing systems. Because products are returned under different operational conditions, they usually require different remanufacturing effort/costs. Motivated by a project with a major energy company that manages its inventory...

Aggregate constrained inventory systems with independent multi-product demand: Control practices and theoretical limitations
Schrijver, Steven K. De; Aghezzaf, El-Houssaine; … - In: International Journal of Production Economics 143 (2013) 2, pp. 416-423
In many practical problems inventory managers are confronted with aggregate constraints that result typically from limitations in workspace, workforce, investment or from targeted service levels. In this paper we discuss some multi-product inventory problems with independent items under one or...
