An inventory problem with segmented deliveries
Abstract
An inventory problem involving splitting of an order
into a number of staggered deliveries for a finite time
horizon and known demand is described in this paper.
Based on the optimal policy curve, a procedure for determining
the optimum number of segmented deliveries
for items ordered jointly is provided when there are constraints
on inventory carrying cost or the total number of
segmented deliveries.
