this paper deals with an i * corresponding author email address:   nventory system with one central warehouse and a number of identical retailers. we consider perishable-on-the-shelf items; that is, all items have a fixed shelf life and start to age on their arrival at the retailers. each retailer faces poisson demand and employs (1, t) inventory policy. although demand n...

In this paper, an (s, S) policy is determined by using a simulation-optimization approach for periodic review inventory system at pharmacy department of major hospital in Thailand. The simulation, which imitates the behavior, constructed on spreadsheet, while cyclic coordinate method with golden section search adopted as optimization algorithm. Solutions policy's parameters from algorithm are e...

this paper presents a new formulation for warehouse inventory management in a stochastic situation. the primary source of this formulation is derived from fp model, which has been proposed by fletcher and ponnambalam for reservoir management. the new proposed mathematical model is based on the first and the second moments of storage as a stochastic variable. using this model, the expected value...
