Abstract

The common-carrier distribution network for the Luzianne food product line is discussed, along with modifications under consideration. Considerations governing the design of a simulation model of the network are enumerated. The Distribution Simulator (DSIM) developed for this application is then described and early computational experience included.

Pooling in Two-Location Inventory Systems with Non-Negligible Replenishment Lead Times

This paper deals with the analysis of two-location periodic review inventory systems with non-negligible replenishment lead times. Emergency transshipments are used in these systems as a recourse action to reduce the occurrence of shortages. A class of ...
