Abstract

In Chaps. 3–6 we consider a large and very important class of inventory problems, for which, in general, we can offer satisfactory solutions that can be used in practice relatively easily. This class of systems is characterized by two qualities:

  • Different items can be controlled independently.

  • The items are stocked at a single location, i.e., not in a multi-stage inventory system.
