S1 Inventory Models This chapter will consider several model types. Supplement 2 describes deterministic models. Even though many features of an inventory system involve uncertainty of some kind, it is common to assume much simpler deterministic models for which solutions are found using calculus.
Deterministic models also provide a base on which to incorporate assumptions concerning uncertainty. Supplement 3 adds a stochastic dimension to the model with random product demand. Supplement 4 begins discussion of stochastic inventory systems with the single period stochastic model. The model has applications for products for which the ordering process is nonrepeating.
The remainder of the chapter considers models with an infinite time horizon and several assumptions regarding the costs of operation. This policy places an order up to level S when the inventory level falls to the reorder point s. Supplement 7 extends these results to the R, S policy. In this case the inventory is observed periodically with a time interval R , and is replenished to level S. Flow, Inventory and Time An inventory is represented in the simple diagram of Fig.
Items flow into the system, remain for a time and then flow out. Inventories occur whenever the time an individual enters is different than when it leaves. During the intervening interval the item is part of the inventory. A system component with inventory. For example, say the box in Fig. A product entering the box at one moment leaves the box one hour later.
Products arrive at a rate of per hour. Clearly, if we look in the box, we will find some number of items. That number is the inventory level. Whenever two of the factors in the above expression are given, the third is easily computed. Consider a queueing system for which customers are observed to arrive at an average rate of 10 per hour. When the customer finds the servers busy, he or she must wait. Customers in the system, either waiting or be served, are the inventory for this system.
Using a sampling procedure we determine that the average number of customers in the inventory is 5. We ask, how long, on the average, is each customer in the system? Using the relation between the flow, time and inventory, we determine the answer as 0.
