Abstract

The impact of manufacturing flexibility on inventory investments in a distribution network consisting of a central depot and a number of local stockpoints is investigated. The lead time of outstanding orders in the pipeline of the central depot can be shortened by the use of flexibility. Stock levels are controlled by a periodic review echelon-order-up-to-policy under service level constraints.
