摘要：In just-in-time inventory management in any manufacturing setting, the general idea has been to release jobs as late as possible (to reduce inventory costs) while still having them arrive at bottleneck machines in time to maintain the desired throughput (by not starving a bottleneck machine). When a cyclic schedule is employed, the throughput is determined by a cyclic sequence of operations known as the cyclic critical path. These operations are not, in general, all performed on a single bottl...

摘要：This paper investigates the operational characteristics of a pooling group consisting of two stocking locations, supplied periodically by a central warehouse. The two locations may collaborate by moving inventory between them. The lateral transshipment times are shorter than the regular replenishment lead times, but they are not negligible. Several alter-native types of ordering and transshipment policies are examined. Extensive experimentation by simulation leads to the conclusion that the be...
