A Capacity Constrained Production-Inventory System with Stochastic Demand and Production Times

Axsäter, Sven LU (2010) In International Journal of Production Research 48(20). p.6203-6209
Abstract
This paper considers a simple model of a capacity constrained production-inventory system with Poisson demand. The system is controlled by an S policy. The production time for a unit is modelled as a gamma distributed stochastic variable. Using M/G/1 queuing theory it is very easy to evaluate holding and backorder costs and optimise the ordering policy. The suggested model may be useful when evaluating investments in production.
