Abstract: |
There is considered a two-level
single-product inventory control system which
controls correspondingly the wholesale’s warehouse and the customers’ warehouses.
For delivering the product there has been organized a supply chain “producer
– wholesaler – customer”. It is assumed that the customers and the wholesaler
shape their stocks having in mind the minimization of the total costs of the
product ordering, holding and losses from deficit per time unit. The
customers’ demands for the product and the time of delivering the cargo from
the producer to the wholesaler and from the wholesaler to each of the
customers are random values with known laws of distribution. The wholesaler
orders the goods at the fixed, equally distant, moments of time. The order of goods is performed by the customer at a random
moment of time, when the remains of the goods in his warehouse have reduced
up to a fixed level called the reorder point. In the given paper there is
suggested a simulation model of the above inventory control. The ExtendSim 8
package has been used as the means of simulation. The numerical examples of
the problem solving are presented. |
