摘要
In this paper we consider the policy of splitting each replenishment order among two or more vendors. This action reduces the expected time until the first replenishment arrives, as well as its variance. Thus using the same safety stock, a higher service level can be achieved or the safety stock can be reduced without decreasing the service level. We calculate these achievements using the expected shortage level as the service measure. © 1990.
