Abstract
dc.description.abstract
This paper studies the effect of several inventory policies on the design of a distribution network
for fast-moving items able to provide differentiated service levels in terms of product availability
for several demand classes. We consider the distribution network design problem when the global
round-up, single class allocation, local separate stock, local round-up, and critical level inventory
policies are used. We show how to formulate these problems as conic quadratic mixed-integer
problems and prove that the critical level policy provides the lowest cost distribution network
design. Further results and a computational study show how these different models compare in
practice.
