A new perspective on multi-echelon inventory systems
We present a new methodology for analyzing multi-echelon inventory systems. The methodology relies on decomposing complicated multi-echelon inventory control problems into much smaller and managable subproblems, whose solutions in turn help us either characterize the structure of optimal policies …

Multi-echelon inventory optimization in a rapid-response supply chain
The motivation for multi-echelon supply chain management at Nike is to more cost-effectively accommodate customer-facing lead time reduction in the rapid-response replenishment business model. Multi-echelon inventory management, as opposed to a traditional finished-goods only philosophy, provides …

Multi-echelon inventory management for a fresh produce retail supply chain
Perishability presents a challenging problem in inventory management for the fresh produce industry since it can lead to higher inventory costs and lower service levels. If a supply chain has multiple echelons, that further complicates the issue since companies have an added risk of not having the …
