Title: | A linear programming formulation for an inventory management decision problem with a service constraint | Authors: | JANSSENS, Gerrit K. RAMAEKERS, Katrien |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Publisher: | PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD | Source: | EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS, 38(7). p. 7929-7934 | Abstract: | Inventory systems with uncertainty go hand in hand with the determination of a safety stock level. The decision on the safety stock level is based on a performance measure, for example the expected shortage per replenishment period or the probability of a stock-out per replenishment period. The performance measure assumes complete knowledge of the probability distribution during lead time, which might not be available. In case of incomplete information regarding the lead-time distribution of demand, no single figure for the safety stock can de determined in order to satisfy a performance measure. However, an optimisation model may be formulated in order to determine a safety stock level which guarantees the performance measure under the worst case of lead-time demand, of which the distribution is known in an incomplete way. It is shown that this optimisation problem can be formulated as a linear programming problem. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
