Analyzing the effect of inventory policies on the nonstationary performance with transfer functions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply transfer function methods to analyze the performance of supply chains in response to nonstationary demand and, in particular, investigate how various inventory policies and demand forecasting parameters affect supply chain responsiveness.

TL;DR: A new approach called SOA is described, based on a certain number of standards, which is going to be studied on three dimensions and is related to the definition of the information system implied in the SOA based on the use case model.

Probabilistic solution and bounds for serial inventory systems with discounted and average costs
Xiuli Chao,Sean X. Zhou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the infinite horizon serial inventory system with both average cost and discounted cost criteria, and derived bounds and heuristics for optimal inventory control polices.

On properties of discrete (r, q) and (s, T) inventory systems
TL;DR: It is shown that joint convexity properties of the policy parameters in single-item and (s, T) inventory systems with integer-valued demand processes no longer hold in the discrete space, in the sense of linear interpolation extension and L♮-convexity.
