Main Inventory Management Elements on Reducing Storage Cost

Measuring the Cost of Storage Management

We study the cost of storage management for garbage-collected programs compiled with the Standard ML of New Jersey compiler. We show that the cost of storage management is not the same as the time spent garbage collecting. For many of the programs, the time spent garbage collecting is less than the time spent doing other storage-management tasks. 1Authors’ addresses: David Tarditi, Computer Sci...

Optimal Inventory-Management-Policy for Commodity Storage-Assets

Commodity storage-assets can be either physical storage-facilities, or contracts guaranteeing their use. Merchants employ them to support their commodity-trading activities in wholesale markets, which are characterized by notoriously volatile prices. Managing a storage asset requires determining an inventory-management policy, which, given a realization of the commodity price, consists of choos...

Efficient Main Memory Data Management Using the DBGraph Storage Model

The requirements for a main memory data storage model are both compactness and efficient processing for all database operations. The DBGraph storage model, proposed in this paper, achieves these goals. By representing the entire database in a unique graph-based data structure, called DBGraph, it fully exploits the directaccess capability of main memory systems. For example, Selection, Join and ...

Multi-level inventory management decisions with transportation cost consideration

In this article we address specific inventory management decisions with transportation cost consideration in a multi-level environment consisting of a supplier–warehouse–retailers. We develop two models – namely, decentralized ordering model and centralized ordering model to investigate the effect of collective ordering by retailers on the total inventory cost of the system. A numerical study s...
