Optimizing delivery lead time/inventory placement in a two-stage production/distribution system
چکیده انگلیسی

In this paper we study a system composed of a supplier and buyer(s). We assume that the buyer faces random demand with a known distribution function. The supplier faces a known production lead time. The main objective of this study is to determine the optimal delivery lead time and the resulting location of the system inventory. In a system with a single-supplier and a single-buyer it is shown that system inventory should not be split between a buyer and supplier. Based on system parameters of shortage and holding costs, production lead times, and standard deviations of demand distributions, conditions indicating when the supplier or buyer(s) should keep the system inventory are derived. The impact of changes to these parameters on the location of system inventory is examined. For the case with multiple buyers, it is found that the supplier holds inventory for the buyers with the smallest standard deviations, while the buyers with the largest standard deviations hold their own inventory.
