Optimal Stock Lovels for Parallel-Type Inventory System with Redistribution

재분배를 고려한 병렬형 재고시스템

A one-upper warehouse n-lower retailer inventory model is discussed. The probability distribution of demand for a given perod is independent. The inventory holding cost is proportional to the number of unsold units and the cost of shortages is proportional to the number of shortages. In the event of a shortage, units are redistributed with a cost proportional to the number of units from the retailers which are a surplus at the end of the period. The optimum stock levels are obtained and the effects of redistribution are analized.
