| Abstract: | In inventory systems with several bases that support different geographical regions, it is quite common to allow emergency lateral transshipments between bases. A new model is presented for such lateral transshipments in continuous review inventory systems with one-for-one replenishments and Poisson demand. This model is an extension of the classical multi-echelon inventory model, and this approach puts much emphasis on modelling the demand at base correctly while it can be applied to the case of nonidentical bases. This technique is applied to a two-echelon system with repairable items. |
