Analysis of a Two-Echelon Queuing-Inventory System with M/M/c Product System, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hajji, Alireza (Supervisor)
Abstract
The subject of this thesis is a two-echelon inventory system with a manufacturer and multiple distribution centers (DCs) that satisfy the demand originating from multiple sources. Demand from each source follows an independent Poisson process. The transportation times between the manufacturer and the DCs are assumed to be positive which may require keeping inventory at both the warehouse and the DCs. Inventory in both echelons is managed using the base-stock policy. The manufacturer works with
M/M/c product system. The cost of demand fulfillment for each DC consists of inventory holding and backlog costs. The objective is to determine the optimal base-stock levels at the DC Cataloging briefAnalysis of a Two-Echelon Queuing-Inventory System with M/M/c Product System, M.Sc.
