Abstract: | Consider a single-item, periodic review, infinite-horizon, undiscounted, inventory model with stochastic demands, proportional holding and shortage costs, and full backlogging. Orders can arrive in every period, and the cost of receiving them is negligible. Every T periods, one observes the current stock level and orders deliveries for the next T periods, thus incurring a fixed setup cost, claim the authors of the present article. |
