Abstract

The continuous review base-stock policy under the lost sales assumption has been extensively studied in the inventory literature. However, most of the research that deals with the optimal policy parameter determination under compound Poisson demand focuses on the stuttering Poisson case. In this paper, we extend earlier research by providing a method that calculates the best cost-driven base-stock policy under more general compound Poisson demand processes and for both the complete and the partial rejection case. This is done by developing a simple recursive formula that computes the steady-state probabilities of the number of outstanding orders for general demand and lead-time distributions. Based on this, we are able to obtain the optimal base-stock level under the complete rejection case and an approximate base-stock level under the partial rejection policy. Through a numerical investigation, we show that our approach outperforms existing methods with regard to computational requirements.
