Abstract

The inventory depletion management problem is discussed in this chapter. Items are stored in a stockpile for the purpose of serving a demand in the field. Items typically age at different rates in the stockpile and in the field. The stockpile may or may not be replenished, and there may be different costs to replenish the stockpile and make emergency replacements in the field. The vast majority of the analysis on this problem is to determine conditions under which either FIFO (i.e., issuing the oldest item next) or LIFO (issuing the newest item next) is optimal.
