| Abstract: | A model of a multiechelon inventory system is presented. The system consists of several facilities or locations whose supply-demand relationships form a hierarchy. Each location places orders for replenishment with another location , its direct predecessor. There is a single location at the highest level of the hierarchy, called the central depot , whose orders go to an outside supply source. Simple methods for computing or approximating the steady-state behaviour of the system are described. |
