| Abstract: | In this paper, an approximate analytical two-location inventory transshipment model is developed that combines the popular order-quantity, reorder-point (Q,R) continuous review ordering policy with a third parameter, the hold-back amount, which limits the level of outgoing transshipments. The degree to which transshipments improve both Type I (non-stockout probability) and Type II (fill rate) customer service levels can be calculated using the model. |
