Abstract

We consider a two-level inventory system in which there are one supplier and multiple retailers. The retailers face stochastic, interdependent customer demands. Each location employs a periodic-review (R,nQ), or lot-size reorder point, inventory policy. We show that each location's inventory positions are stationary and the stationary distribution is uniform and independent of any other's. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
