We consider a multi-item two-echelon inventory system in which the central warehouse operates under a (Q,R) policy and the local warehouses implement basestock policy. The objective is to find the policy parameters that minimize the system-wide inventory holding and ordering costs subject to an aggregate mean response time constraint at each facility. We propose different heuristics based on Lagrangean relaxation and sequential determination of policy parameters, and discuss their performances.

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....
Multi-item two-echelon spare parts inventory control problem with batch ordering in the central warehouse under compound Poisson demand
Topan, E; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin (Informa UK Limited, 2012-8)
We 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 system-wide inventory holding and fixed ordering costs subject to an aggregate mean response time constraint at each warehouse. In this paper, we propose four alternative approximations for the steady state performance o...
Heuristics for multi-item two-echelon spare parts inventory control subject to aggregate and individual service measures
Topan, Engin; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Tan, Tarkan (Elsevier BV, 2017-01-01)
We consider a multi-item two-echelon spare parts inventory system in which the central warehouse operates under a (Q, R) policy and local warehouses implement (S-1,S) policy. The objective is to find the policy parameters minimizing expected system-wide inventory holding and fixed ordering subject to aggregate and individual response time constraints. Using an exact evaluation we provide a very efficient and effective heuristic, and also a tight lower bound for real-world, large-scale two-echelon spare part...
An exact solution procedure for multi-item two-echelon spare parts inventory control problem with batch ordering in the central warehouse

We consider a multi-item two-echelon inventory system in which the central warehouse operates under a (Q, R) policy, and the local warehouses implement basestock policy. An exact solution procedure is proposed to find the inventory control policy parameters that minimize the system-wide inventory holding and fixed ordering cost subject to an aggregate mean response time constraint at each facility.
Batch Ordering Problem in Multi Item Two Echelon Spare Parts Inventory Control Systems
Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin (null; 2008-08-22)
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...
