Abstract
The confluence of several trends in manufacturing organizations has created many opportunities for supply chain management practitioners to apply their skills. These trends include the increasingly ubiquitous implementation of Advanced Planning Systems, the growing complexity of supply chains, and the recognition among managers of the importance of supply chain costs to profitability.

Later in these notes I will describe the authors' collaboration on the multiechelon inventory problem in the spring of 1959, and describe the influence of Ralph Gomory and Ray Fulkerson on the development of combinatorial optimization.

A practical and efficient computer program has been designed to show the cost-effectiveness tradeoff for a large group of recoverable items and can evaluate any distribution of stock and it can compute the optimal redistribution of stock.

477 Citations1985Stephen C. Graves
An exact model for finding the steady-state distribution of the net inventory level at each site in a multi-echelon inventory system for a repairable item is presented and an approximation is presented that is very accurate on a set of test problems.

Several refinements of Deuermeyer and Schwarz's very simple approximation of a complex multi-echelon system are proposed, leading to models nearly as simple and considerably more robust.
Operations ResearchExact and Approximate Evaluation of Batch-Ordering Policies for Two-Level Inventory Systems
194 Citations1993Sven Axsäter
This paper shows how a recursive procedure derived for determining the policy costs for an average item in case of one-for-one replenishment policies can be used for the exact or approximate evaluation of more general policies where both the retailers and the warehouse order in batches.

172 Citations1991Kamran Moinzadeh, Charles P. Schmidt
An approximate model of an inventory control system in which there exist two options for resupply, with one having a shorter lead-time, is developed and a policy for placing emergency orders that uses information about the age of outstanding orders is considered.

This paper develops a model of an integrated production-distribution system comprised of a single station model of a factory, a stockpile of finished goods, and a single retailer, and approximate the distributions of key random variables to compute costs and service levels across the supply chain.

European Journal of Operational ResearchA periodic review inventory system with two supply modes
87 Citations1996Chi Chiang, Genaro Gutierrez
A periodic review inventory system in which there are two modes of resupply, namely a regular mode and an emergency mode, is described, which shows that given any non-negative order-up-to level, either only the regular supply mode is used, or there exists an indifference inventory level such that if the inventory position at the review epoch is below the indifference Inventory level, the emergency supply modes are used.
