A two-commodity inventory model with zero lead time and without shortages, which operates under (s,S) policies, is investigated. Formulating its inventory level process as a Markov renewal process and applying the filtering procedure due to E. Çinlar, the present analysis is discussed. Explicit expressions are obtained for stationary probabilities of all possible embedded inventory processes and objective cost function. Lastly, optimization problems are illustrated by a graph.
