Multi-Item Two-Echelon Spare Parts Inventory Control Problem with Batch Ordering in the Central Warehouse under Compound Poisson DemandZ. Pelin Bayindir, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, and Engin Topan, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The NetherlandsWe consider a multi-item two-echelon spare part inventory system in which the central warehouse operates under an (nQ,R) policy and the local warehouses implement order-up-to S policy, each facing a compound Poisson demand. The objective is to find the policy parameters minimizing expected systemwide inventory holding and fixed ordering costs subject to an aggregate mean response time constraint at each warehouse. In this study, we propose four alternative approximations for the steady state performance of the system; and extend a heuristic and a lower bound proposed under Poisson demand assumption to the compound Poisson setting. In a computational study, we show that the performances of the approximations, the heuristic, and the lower bound are quite satisfactory; and the relative cost saving of setting an aggregate service level rather than individually for each part is quite high.

BATCH ORDERING PROBLEM IN MULTI ITEM TWO ECHELON SPARE PARTS INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS Engin Topan, Zeynep Pelin Bayindir, Tarkan Tan In this study we deal with a multi-item two-echelon spare parts inventory control system in which the central warehouse operates with reorder point/order quantity (Q,R) policy whereas local warehouses implements one-for-one replenishment. In this environment we study the batch ordering problem of the corresponding system. There are two common approaches in determining p...
Multi-Item Two-Echelon Spare Parts Inventory Control Problem with Batch Ordering in the Central Warehouse
Topan, Engin; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Tan, Tarkan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
In this dissertation, we consider a multi-item two-echelon inventory distribution system in which the central warehouse operates with (Q, R) policy, and each local warehouse implements base-stock policy. The objective is to find the policy parameters minimizing the relevant system-wide costs subject to an aggregate mean response time constraint at each facility. We first propose an exact solution procedure based on a branch-and-price algorithm to find the relevant policy parameters of the system considered....
Disassembly line balancing problem with fixed number of workstations and finite supply
Göksoy, Eda; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, we consider a Disassembly Line Balancing Problem (DLBP) with fixed number of workstations. We aim to maximize the total value of the recovered parts. We assume that there is a limited supply for the products to be disassembled. Different components can be obtained by disassembling different units of the product. Our aim is to assign the tasks to the workstations of the disassembly line so as to maximize the total value of the recovered parts. We present several upper and one lower bounding p...
