The paper extends the concept of decision and forecast horizons from classes of stationary to classes of nonstationary Markov decision problems. The horizons are explicitly obtained from a family of inventory models. The family is indexed by nonstationary Markov chains and deterministic sequences. For the proof only reference to earlier work on the stationary case is made.
