Effects of Lot‐splitting under Various Routing Strategies

Hancock, Terence M. - In: International Journal of Operations & Production Management 11 (1991) 1, pp. 68-74

Lot‐splitting involves the possibility of lot sizes at intermediate processing steps being less than the production release of the finished good. However, the limited research in this area has not been sufficient to counter the conventional wisdom that lot‐splitting (1) is appropriate only...

How many units will be short when stockout occurs?

Adenso‐Díaz, Belarmino - In: International Journal of Operations & Production Management 16 (1996) 4, pp. 112-118

In stochastic inventory management, when calculating the safety stock necessary to ensure a service level, use of the partial expectation function, which is tabulated in the normal demand case, is popular. Using these values, it is possible to calculate the safety stock necessary for the average...
