Expected inventory order crossovers occur if at the moment of ordering it is expected that orders will not arrive in the sequence they are ordered. Recent research has shown that (a) expected inventory order crossovers will be encountered more frequently in future, and that (b) use of a myopic order-up-to policy based on a stochastic dynamic programming approach leads to improved performance co...

Forests provide significant commodity and noncommodity values to the citizens of the United States. An important and substantial role in ensuring the continued health, productivity, and sustainability of these resources is a reliable and credible inventory and monitoring program. The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program of the US Forest Service has been monitoring and reporting on status...

We examine the effectiveness of the conventional (Q, r) model in managing production-inventory systems with finite capacity, stochastic demand, and stochastic order processing times. We show that, for systems with finite production capacity, order replenishment lead times are highly sensitive to loading and order quantity. Consequently, the choice of optimal order quantity and optimal reorder p...

Problem statement: Today, inventory management is considered to be an important field in Supply chain management. Once the efficient and effective management of inventory is carried out throughout the supply chain, service provided to the customer ultimately gets enhanced. Hence, to ensure minimal cost for the supply chain, the determination of the level of inventory to be held at various level...

Inventory Management has emerged as one of the important tools to improve operational efficiency over the last 30-40 years across the globe. Japanese companies such as Toyota pioneered lean manufacturing, which emphasizes on the need to maintain low inventory levels across the supply chain through practices like JIT, Kanban and vendor managed inventory etc. Anecdotal evidence suggests that, inv...

LAPSyD, the Lyon-Albuquerque Phonological Systems Database, is an online phonological database equipped with powerful query, mapping and visualization tools. It stems from the UPSID and WALS databases, enhanced with newly validated data not only covering segmental inventories but also syllable structures, stress and tonal systems. In its current version it covers around 700 languages and it is ...

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd logistic core operations with sa...

We propose a tactical model which integrates the replenishment decision in inventory management, the allocation of products to warehousing systems and the assignment of products to storage locations in warehousing management. The purpose of this article is to analyse the value of integrating warehouse and inventory decisions. This is achieved by proposing two methods for solving this tactical i...
