Ahalf century ago, several scholars, some of whom subsequently received Nobel prizes in
economics, developed inventory models primarily in response to the needs of American …

In applications of operations research models, decision makers must assess the sensitivity
of outputs to imprecise values for some of the model's parameters. Existing analytic …

A forward algorithm for a solution to the following dynamic version of the economic lot size
model is given: allowing the possibility of demands for a single item, inventory holding charges…

In regression problems alternative criteria of “best fit” to least squares are least absolute
deviations and least maximum deviations. In this paper it is noted that linear programming …

This article was published as Appendix 6 in the second edition (1957) of the book entitled “The
Theory of Inventory Management,” by Thomson M. Whitin, in order to reach an audience …

This paper considers the mathematical properties of chance constrained programming
problems where the restriction is on the joint probability of a multivariate random event. One …

A complete computational approach for finding optimal (s, S) inventory policies is developed.
The method is an efficient and unified approach for all values of the model parameters, …

Transportation models (ordinary and transhipment) having certain types of capacity
constraints on the flows between origins and destinations are studied from the point of view of …

We study how industry clockspeed, internal firm factors, such as product development,
production, and inventory costs, and competitive factors determine a firm's optimal new-product …

A forward algorithm for a solution to the following dynamic version of the economic lot size
model is given: allowing the possibility of demands for a single item, inventory holding charges…
