Operating Characteristics of the (S − 1, S) Inventory System with Partial Backorders and Constant Resupply Times
研究在泊松需求和恒定补货时间下，面对缺货时客户可选择等待或取消订单的(S-1, S)库存系统，推导了稳态运行特征和期望总成本率，并分析了参数对成本率的影响。
In this paper we consider an (S − 1, S) inventory system with Poisson demand and constant resupply times. An arriving customer facing stockout will either backorder or withdraw its order. Expressions describing steady state operating characteristics of the system and the expected total cost rate are developed. Furthermore, the behavior of the expected total cost rate as the function of the relevant parameters is explored.
