The Complexity of Safety Stock Placement in General-Network Supply Chains
(2005-01)We consider the optimization problem of safety stock placement in a supply chain, as formulated in [1]. We prove that this problem is NP-Hard for supply chains modeled as general acyclic networks. Thus, we do not expect ... -
Optimizing Safety Stock Placement in General Network Supply Chains
(2004-01)In the paper, we minimize the holding cost of the safety stock held in a supply chain modeled as a general network. By our assumption, the demand is bounded by a concave function. This fact allows us to formulate the problem ...
