Inventory Management.

Abstract

Production planning has among its objectives the determination of inventory levels. In this paper we are primarily concerned with inventories that are involved in industrial production, namely inventories of raw materials, purchased and manufactured parts, subassemblies, assemblies, and finished products. However, many of the decision rules presented are also valid for managing inventories in other kinds of operations such as retailing, distribution, service operations, etc.
