A Century of the EOQ -- Multi-period Lot-sizing with Stationary Demand: Extension to Forecast Horizons -- EOQ Models with Supply Disruptions -- Existence of EOQ and Its Evaluation: Some Cases of Stock Blow Down Dynamics Depending on Its Level -- Generalizing the Ordering Cost and Holding-Backlog...

This book explores deterministic and stochastic EOQ-model based problems and applications, presenting technical analyses of single-echelon EOQ model based inventory problems, and applications of the EOQ model for multi-echelon supply chain inventory analysis.

Ever since the publication of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, the number of its applications to management science problems has been steadily growing. This paper is an up-to-date survey of the applications of the deterministic maximum principle to the three functional areas of management:...

A mixed optimization technique for optimal machine replacement is presented which allows much more flexibility than previous models. Optimal purchase, maintenance and sale of a given machine between any two given points in time is treated as a subproblem, which one may choose to solve via...
