Optimal Production and Inventory Policy for Multiple Products Under Resource Constraints
研究多产品在共享有限资源情况下的最优库存策略，提出一种修正的基础库存策略，并针对异质产品给出简单有效的启发式算法，数值实验表明该算法接近最优。
We show that a modified base-stock policy is optimal for multiproduct, infinite-horizon production-inventory systems, where demand for the products is random and the products share a finite resource every period. We characterize the optimal policy for the case of homogeneous products. Because of the difficulty in computing the optimal base-stock levels for the heterogeneous case, we propose a heuristic that is simple enough for practical applications. We present numerical results that suggest that the heuristic yields near-optimal solutions.
