The Impact of Globalization on Inventory and Financial Performance: A Firm-Level and Industry-Level Analysis
… investigates how globalization affects inventory and financial performance from both firm and industry perspectives. Drawing upon elements from classic inventory models, transaction costs, geographic economics, and international business and strategy literatures, this dissertation aims …

An algorithm to determine the causes of inventory stock-outs in manufacturing firms
The recent trends in manufacturing toward lower inventory levels, shorter cycle times, and more closely integrated production schedules have led to an extremely low tolerance for inventory stock-outs. In such an environment, any shortage is costly, and understanding why stock-outs occur and how to …

Inventory Models for Intermittent Highly Variable Demand and Policy Parameter Adjustments to Meet Desired Service Level Requirements
… demand models for the continuous review (r;Q) inventory policy. A number of classic distributions as well as distribution selection rules are examined under a wide variety of demand conditions. First, the models are compared to each other by assuming a known demand process and evaluating the …

An analysis and mitigation of demand variability on external supply chains
… and non-financial impacts, such as poor inventory performance and strained supplier relationships. The objective of this research is to identify processes and procedures that amplify the impact of demand variability and the areas in the end-to-end operation that are significantly …

Segmentation strategies for managing retail supply chains
… until the sell-through point, optimizing inventory positioning is critical. No longer is a one-size-fits-all approach sufficient; in order to perform optimally, manufacturers should categorize their retailers, stores, and products, and tailor their strategy for each accordingly. This work …

Intermittent demand forecasting for inventory control : the impact of temporal and cross-sectional aggregation
… This challenge makes it hard to estimate inventory levels and thus affects service levels. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of multiple levels of data aggregation on forecasting intermittent demand, and subsequently, on inventory control performance. In particular, we …

An empirical analysis and stochastic modelling of aggregate demand behaviour in a spare parts inventory system
… work of RG Brown (1959), who showed that inventory usage values are often log normally distributed, we set out and developed models that go some considerable way to explaining the underlying stochastic basis for this phenomena, why it occurs and some limiting conditions. The justification …

Detailed Inventory Record Inaccuracy Analysis
… analysis to understand the behavior of inventory record inaccuracy (IRI) when it is influenced by demand, supply and lead time uncertainty in both online and offline retail environment separately. Additionally, this study identifies the susceptibility of the inventory systems towards IRI …

Ship-pack replenishment optimization in a two-echelon distribution system with lost sales and seasonal product obsolescence
… distribution system to forward-deploy inventory, a number of cost elements must be considered when deciding the quantity of a given SKU to replenish to the forward-deployed node. These costs include processing costs, transportation costs, and obsolescence costs, among others. An …

Optimizing replenishment order quantities in uncoordinated supply chains
… is each supplier establishes their individual inventory and production policies on both the input and output sides. In these supply links there is minimal coordination between suppliers, and typically only prices and delivery guarantees are contracted. As a consequence, the inventory behavior …
