Abstract
We explore the management of inventory for stochastic-demand systems, where the product's supply is randomly disrupted for periods of random duration, and demands that arrive when the inventory system is temporarily out of stock become a mix of backorders and lost sales. The stock is managed according to the following modified (s, S) policy: If the inventory level is at or below s and the supply is available, place an order to bring the inventory level up to S. Our analysis yields the optimal values of the policy parameters, and provides insight into the optimal inventory strategy when there are changes in the severity of supply disruptions or in the behavior of unfilled demands. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

There are ranges of parameter values describing an unreliable manufacturing system for which zero-inventory policies are exactly optimal even when there is uncertainty in manufacturing capacity, reinforcing the case for zero- inventory policies, which is currently made on the separate grounds that it enforces a healthy discipline on the entire manufacturing process.

Concepts from renewal reward processes are used to develop average cost objective function models for single, two, and multiple suppliers and show that as the number of suppliers becomes large, the model reduces to the classical EOQ model.

An easily implementable production control policy is introduced and it is proved that under this policy the safety stock dynamics can be characterized fully by a renewal process analogous to the workload process of a special single server queueing system.

This work superimposes the reliability feature comprising the machine failure process and the ensuing repair actions into production-inventory models, and derives an explicit closed form solution for the steady-state distribution of the inventory level to compute system performance indices of interest related to service level to customers and machine utilization.
