A Threshold Inventory Rationing Policy for Service - Differentiated Demand Classes
Motivated by a study of the logistics systems used to manage consumable service parts for the U.S. military, we consider a static threshold-based rationing policy that is useful when pooling inventory across two demand classes characterized by different arrival rates and shortage (stockout and delay) costs. The scheme operates as a (Q, r) policy with the following feature. Demands from both cla...
متن کاملA heuristic for rationing inventory in two demand classes with backlog costs and a service constraint
We study the rationing policy in an inventory system with two demand classes and different service criteria for backorders. Due to the difference of customer values, system performance sometimes has to be measured with a mixture of penalty cost and service level in managing inventory. With a continuous review , r Q system, we develop a critical level rationing policy in which a threshold me...

متن کاملA dynamic rationing policy for continuous-review inventory systems
Stock rationing is an inventory policy that allows differential treatment of customer classes without using separate inventories. In this paper, we propose a dynamic rationing policy for continuous review inventory systems, which utilizes the information on the status of the outstanding replenishment orders. For both backordering and lost sales environments, we conduct simulation studies to com...
متن کاملSpare Parts Inventory Management with Demand Lead–Times and Rationing
We study an inventory system that consists of two demand classes. The orders in the first class need to be satisfied immediately, whereas the orders in the second class are to be filled in a given demand lead–time. The two classes are also of different criticality. For this system, we propose a policy that rations the non–critical orders. Under a one-for-one replenishment policy with backorderi...
