Some Probability Distributions for a Multi-echelon Inventory System with Time-varying, stochastic Demands

시간에 따라 변하며 추계적 수요를 갖는 다단계 재고시스템의 확률 분포에 관한 연구

Much of the past work regarding repairable item stockage has concentrated on the development of models and policies for systems in steady state. However, there are important situations in which the transient behavior is most important. A dramatic example of this is the potential dynamic behavior exhibited by demands and service in the deployment of an Air Force squadron at the onset of a conflict. The purpose of this paper is to derive some probability distributions necessary for providing an integrated approach for a multi-echelon inventory system with nonstationary demands and service rates.
