题目：Optimal Policies for Capacitated Multi-Echelon Inventory Systems
摘要：
In this paper, we analyze the structure of optimal policies for capacitated serial inventory systems. Under a finite horizon setting, we show that a multi-tier generalized modified echelon base stock (GMEBS) policy is optimal for systems with capacity constraints: there are multiple sets of target echelon base stock levels and the starting echelon inventory state determines which set is optimal. We do so by proposing the notion of weak decomposability and subsequently showing that the value function is weakly decomposable. With these results, we not only fully characterize the structure of the optimal policy of such a problem, but also dramatically reduce the computational complexity in obtaining the optimal policy. Finally, we extend our results to systems with fixed lead times and Markov modulated demands.
