Note—Comment on “Aggregate Safety Stock Levels and Component Part Commonality”
评论Collier（1982）关于用单一通用件替代多种零件对安全库存影响的研究，指出其结论可能具有误导性。
In this Note, we address the issue of safety stock considerations in an MRP environment through the use of a single identical component as a replacement for a set of multiple components. We indicate where the results reported by Collier (Collier, David A. 1982. Aggregate safety stock levels and component part commonality. Management Sci. 28 (11, November) 1296–1303.) may prove to be misleading.
