Lateral transshipments within an inventory system are stock movements between locations
of the same echelon. These transshipments can be conducted periodically at predetermined …

Stocks of spare parts, located at appropriate locations, can prevent long downtimes of
technical systems that are used in the primary processes of their users. Since such …

This paper deals with the analysis of a multi-item, continuous review model of two-location
inventory systems for repairable spare parts, used for expensive technical systems with high …

Motivated by real-life spare parts networks, we introduce a new spare parts inventory model
with lateral transshipment. We consider a multi-item, multi-location, single-echelon system …

Inventory management of spare parts is one of the most critical issues in the aeronautical
industry, given the required level of system availability related to the strategic importance …

In this paper we present a novel transshipment problem for a large apparel retailer that
operates an extensive retail network. Our problem is inspired by the logistics operations of a …

In this paper we present the use of game theoretic models to analyse the cost allocation
problem in the context of repairable spare parts pooling. Two situations are studied. In the …

Lateral transshipments are a method of responding to shortages of stock in a network of
inventory‐holding locations. Conventional reactive approaches only seek to meet immediate …

Recent trends in the commercial aviation industry have resulted in rapidly increasing
complexity and decentralisation in service parts logistics systems. As a consequence, MRO …

Time-based item fill rates, or “channel” fill rates, are the building blocks needed to evaluate
steady-state compliance with time-based customer service agreements. Exact computation …
