Abstract

We consider a continuous deterministic-demand, stochastic lead-time inventory model such that the individual unit demands are non-interchangeable. We derive equations that define the optimal values of the two decision variables: order size and timing. This model is shown to be a stochastic lead-time generalization of the EOQ model with backlogging of demand. An illustrative example is presented. Finally, a lower bound, which is independent of the order size, is developed for the optimal ordering time.
