Abstract:

Aimed at single echelon and multi depot inventory system with horizontal supply, the models of not out of stock(NOOS) probability and total material support delay time are established. The simulation algorithm of support delay time under given material number of every depot is offered. Based on these models, an optimal strategy for material allotment is put forward with the object of minimal total material support delay time and subject to satisfying the NOOS probability requirement. The feasibility of the algorithm and the optimal strategy is validated by an example.
