cycle time, reduces the major ordering costs. An efficient algorithm to determine the optimal policy of this type is … discussed in this paper. It is shown that this algorithm can be used for deterministic multi-item inventory problems, with … linear cost rate functions. Numerical results for this case show that the algorithm significantly outperforms other solution …
