| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper, the authors study a (S-1, S)type multiechelon inventory system where all the stocking locations have the option to replenish their inventory through either a normal or a more expensive emergency resupply channel. When ordering a unit, each stocking location decides which channel to use based on its inventory level and the remaining leadtimes of its outstanding orders. The authors consider the implications of this policy by developing expressions for the operating characteristics of the system and describing a procedure for finding the optimal policy parameters. |
