Abstract: Discusses the basic inventory systems for controlling inventories under uncertain demand and lead-time. The continuous review system and periodic review system are discussed, and determination of control parameters for the two systems is explained. The concepts of service level, safety stock and reorder point are discussed, and formulas for determining ... More

Abstract: Discusses the models for determining economic order quantities when quantity discounts are given. The models with "all unit" discount and "incremental" discount are presented and economic order quantity for each case is determined. Illustrative examples for each case are provided to show the use of the model and the determination ... More

Abstract: Introduces the functions of inventories and various costs relevant for inventory management. The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model with deterministic demand and lead-time is discussed and basic derivations of the model are presented. Sensitivity of cost to various parameters of the model is discussed. Finally, the EOQ model with back ... More
