Two-Echelon Inventory Stochastic Model of Supply Chain Based on Service Level Constraints

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study on multi-echelon inventory of supply chain is becoming more and more important in E-business era. This paper proposes a two-echelon inventory model with one supplier and several retailers, in which a certain service level has to be satisfied and the goal is to minimize the total inventory cost. In addtion it puts forward an effective algorithm for this model to obtain the optimal replenishment period and inventory level of each supply chain node.
