Abstract
In this chapter we are going to extend the results of single-echelon systems in Section 2.2 to divergent distribution network (cp. Definition 2). We hereby describe how demand and fill rate can be modeled on the different echelons and how stock on the echelons is connected via the wait time. Figure 3.1 shows an exemplary 3-echelon distribution network.
