An Analysis of Air Force EOQ Data with an Application to Reorder Point Calculation
分析美国空军基地历史数据，用复合泊松分布模型描述需求模式，并基于此计算再订购点，以提升库存管理效率。
One of the important uses of an EOQ item's distribution of lead time demand is to set its reorder point. This paper shows that a realistic model of observed demand patterns can be chosen from the compound Poisson family of distributions. Actual historical data from several U.S. Air Force bases are analyzed using the geometric-Poisson and constant-Poisson distributions. The control discipline is order quantity, reorder point with continuous review. The service level is based on percent of demand supplied during lead time and is consistent with current USAF methodology. The reorder point is based on independent calculations and no attempt is made to jointly optimize the order quantity and reorder point. Lead time is assumed to be known and constant.
