This paper investigates a two-echelon (warehouse-retailer) inventory system with stochastic demand and a pull system of inventory allocation. We assume that ordering costs are charged at the warehouse for procuring the item from a supplier. However, the internal costs of ordering the item from the warehouse by the retailers are considered negligible. For this problem, the lower echelon uses a single critical number, an order-up-to-level policy, whereas a (s, S) inventory system is followed at the upper echelon. We develop a cost model for this problem and provide a simple algorithm for estimating the optimal policy. Simulation is used to test the accuracy of the model. |
