We are concerned with the interaction and integration between demand forecasting and
inventory control, in the context of supply chain operations. The majority of the literature is …

We consider a periodic-review, single-product inventory system with lost sales and positive
lead times under censored demand. In contrast to the classical inventory literature, we …

Inventory systems are largely analyzed in the literature under the common assumption of
backorders due to the complexity of lost sales. In this paper, we consider a two-echelon …

We consider periodic review perishable inventory systems with a fixed product lifetime.
Unsatisfied demand can be either lost or backlogged. The objective is to minimize the long …

This study deals with a closed-loop supply chain where inventory levels are controlled by an
order-up-to inventory policy. The system under consideration is the cylinder-packaged gas …

We consider a periodic-review inventory control problem for the Multi-Warehouse Multi-
Store system with lost sales. We focus on a time horizon during which the system receives …

We consider three classes of inventory systems under long-run average cost:(i) periodic-
review systems with lost sales, positive lead times, and a nonstationary demand process;(ii) …

We consider the lost-sales inventory systems with stochastic lead times and establish the
asymptotic optimality of base-stock policies for such systems. Specifically, we prove that as …

The subject of this chapter is lost-sales inventory systems, both single-stage and multi-stage
(serial). The defining feature of these systems is that when available inventory is insufficient …

The continuous review base-stock policy under the lost sales assumption has been
extensively studied in the inventory literature. However, most of the research that deals with …
