Aggregate Safety Stock Levels and Component Part Commonality
推导了总安全库存水平与零部件通用性之间的函数关系，并通过仿真实验验证了该关系在不确定环境下的有效性，帮助管理者权衡库存、服务水平和标准化程度。
The relationship between aggregate safety stock inventory levels and component part commonality is developed. A simulation experiment strongly supports the functional form of this relationship in an uncertain operating environment. Managers can use these equations to assess the trade-offs between aggregate safety stock levels, service level and the degree of component part standardization. For example, these relationships can be used to predict service, inventory level and cost standards for any change in component part commonality.
