TY - GEN AU - Schimpel,Ulrich TI - Dual sourcing : with arbitrary stochastic demand and stochastic lead times SN - KSP/1000018435 PY - 2010/// PB - KIT Scientific Publishing KW - supply chain management KW - replenishment policy KW - logistics KW - dual sourcing KW - inventory management N1 - Open Access N2 - Companies with high-performing supply chains enjoy essential competitive ad- vantages. However, supply chain management faces an environment of rising risk that endangers these competitive advantages. One of the reasons is to outsource parts of their business. This bears the risk of significantly increased lead times and lead time variability. It is the impact of lead time variability on inventory management that is the central aspect of this book. It describes a mathematical model for dual sourcing with two reorder points, shows the deviation between stochastic and deterministic calculations in a sensitivity analysis, and investigates different relaxations of a traditional dual-sourcing policy UR - https://www.ksp.kit.edu/9783866445284 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/45546 ER -
