Sensitivity analysis and optimization of different inventory control policies along the supply chain

Authors:   Duilio Curcio, Francesco Longo

Abstract

This paper focuses on the inventory management problem along the supply chain. A three three-echelons supply chain made up of suppliers, distribution centers and retail stores is considered. The analysis of multiple inventory control policies monitored by using multiple performance measures is proposed. To this end a simulation model, capable of recreating the complex supply chain environment, has been developed.
