Transient Behavior of Large Markovian Multi-Echelon Repairable Item Inventory Systems Using a Truncated State Space Approach,

Abstract

Calculations for large Markovian finite source, finite repair capacity two echelon repairable item inventory models are shown to be feasible using the randomization technique and a truncated state space approach. More complex models (involving transportation pipelines, multiple item types and additional echelon levels) are also considered.
