Abstract:

This paper compares installation and echelon stock policies for multilevel inventory control. The major results are for serial and assembly systems. For (Q,r)-rules, echelon stock policies are, in general, superior to installation stock policies. A Kanban-policy is identified as a restricted type of installation stock (Q,r)-policy.
