Waves, beaches, breakwaters and rip currents – A three‐dimensional view of supply chain dynamics
Hines, Peter; Holweg, Matthias; Sullivan, James - In: International Journal of Physical Distribution & … 30 (2000) 10, pp. 827-846
Describes a two‐ and, later, a three‐dimensional view of supply chain dynamics within a theoretical framework derived from research carried out in the UK automotive industry. However, the authors believe that the models developed have a far wider applicability than this narrow sectoral and...

A note on solutions to the <Q,r> inventory model for gamma lead‐time demand
Tyworth, John E.; Ganeshan, Ram - In: International Journal of Physical Distribution & … 30 (2000) 6, pp. 534-539
Namit and Chen recently created two algorithms to solve the <Q,r> inventory model for gamma lead‐time demand without using tabulated values. However, other less complicated solutions that do not require the use of tabulated values are currently available. This note demonstrated the relative...</q,r>
