| Abstract: | A supply chain with two retail warehouses that place replenishment orders with a common manufacturing capacity is modeled in this article. The two retailers differ in the variability of their order-streams. The order-stream from one retail warehouse is modeled as a Poisson process and from the other as a hyperexponential renewal process. Each retail warehouse uses a base-stock policy to place replenishment orders with the manufacturer. The manufacturer is modeled as the first-come-first-serve, single exponential server queue. The supply-side impact of this mixture of order-streams received by the manufacturer is analyzed on both retailers. |
