Abstract
The classic single echelon inventory model is restructured
as a two echelon problem in which demand and resupply
are deterministic. Using cost minimization as the objective,
three models are developed which address the problems of
(1) no stockouts allowed (EOQ) , (2) backorders allowed, and
(3) finite production with no stockouts allowed. General
solutions for the optimal policy are obtained in the EOQ and
finite production models. In the backorder model, the analytical
argument is limited to the case in which only time
dependent backorder costs occur. Algorithms are developed
for solving problems for all three models, and selected parameter
values are used to test the behavior of the models.
