Asymptotically-optimal component allocation for Assemble-to-Order production-inventory systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider component allocation in Assemble-to-Order production–inventory systems. We prove that asymptotic optimality on the diffusion scale can be achieved under a continuous-review policy. We also show that in many systems, meeting this optimality criterion requires component reservation.

Asymptotically Optimal Inventory Control for Assemble-to-Order Systems with Identical Lead Times
Optimizing multi-product assemble-to-order (ATO) inventory systems is a long-standing difficult problem. We consider ATO systems with identical component lead times and a general ‘bill of materials’. We use a related two-stage stochastic program (SP) to set a lower bound on the average inventory cost and develop inventory control policies for the dynamic ATO system using this SP. We apply the f...
متن کاملProduction and Inventory Control of a Single Product Assemble-to-Order System with Multiple Customer Classes
W consider the optimal production and inventory control of an assemble-to-order system with m components, one end-product, and n customer classes. A control policy specifies when to produce each component and, whenever an order is placed, whether or not to satisfy it from on-hand inventory. We formulate the problem as a Markov decision process and characterize the structure of an optimal policy...
متن کاملOptimal Control of Assemble-to-Order Systems
We consider the optimal control of an assemble-to-order (ATO) system with m components, a single end-product, and n customer classes. Demand from each class occurs continuously over time according to a Poisson process. Components are produced in separate production facilities, each with a finite production rate and exponentially distributed production times. Components can be stocked ahead of d...
متن کاملNote: A Separation Principle for a Class of Assemble-to-Order Systems with Expediting
In an assemble-to-order system, a wide variety of products are rapidly assembled from component inventories in response to customer orders. We assume that orders must be filled within a product-specific target lead time. In the event that some of the components required to fill an order are out of stock, these components must be expedited. The objective is to minimize the expected infinite-hori...
متن کاملAssemble-to-Order Inventory Management via Stochastic Programming: Chained BOMs and the M-System
We study an inventory management mechanism that uses two stochastic programs (SPs), the customary one-period Assemble-to-Order (ATO) model and its relaxation, to conceive control policies for dynamic ATO systems. We introduce a class of ATO systems, those that possess what we call a ‘chained BOM’. We prove that having a chained BOM is a sufficient condition for both SPs to be L convex in the fi...
