| Abstract: | This paper studies the problem of evaluating the level of customer service that can be achieved in serial and assembly production networks operating under MRP. Using results on the relationship between MRP and traditional inventory policies, the author develops exact and distribution-free expressions for the inventory fluctuations at all stock points of these networks, and uses them to derive analytic models for three customer service measures. All models make use of non-dimensional ratios, which drastically reduce the number of variables involved. |
