Constrained Inventory Optimization on Complex Warehouse Networks
… increasingly face the problem of optimizing the inventory allocation of various products across a large network of warehouses. In most practical cases, the demand for these products is unknown, and product-level inventory available for distribution across the different warehouses is very limited. …

Inventory optimization in a retail multi-echelon environment
The objective of the study is to find an optimal inventory distribution in a retail three-echelon environment, consisting of a supplier, a DC, and stores. An inventory model is built by replicating the echelons' periodic, order-up-to-level policies with all echelons' transactions integrated. …
