Description:
A widespread approach to inventory modelling is to associate costs with measures of system performance and determine the control policy which minimises the long run average cost per unit time. This type of approach ignores the impact of a control policy on the timing of the cash flows associated with payments to suppliers and revenue streams from customers. The approach in this paper is to concentrate on cash flows and determine the control policy which maximises the expected net present value of the cash flows associated with a demand, valued at the time when that demand occurs. There is a Poisson demand process, a fixed lead time, unsatisfied demand is backordered and the system is controlled using a base stock policy. A solution procedure is given and a comparison is made with an equivalent simple interest model and with the standard cost model with linear holding and shortage costs.
