More on Simon's Two Echelon Model

Abstract

This paper discusses some further analysis of a two echelon inventory model developed and subsequently corrected. The corrected expressions were quite complex, and much additional manipulation was required to put them in computational form. In doing this, it was discovered that these were reducible to a simple and revealing form. Moreover, it was also learned that the original expressions reduced to the same simple form despite the logical flaw in their development. Reasons for the identity are presented in this paper.
