Abstract

This paper presents an efficient method for the problem of determining the spare inventory level of a multi-echelon repairable-item inventory system. We consider the system with two levels of inventory, two levels of service and with a general service time distribution. We propose an algorithm that determines the spare inventory level to satisfy the minimum fill rate with the minimum cost. Experimental results show that the algorithm is accurate and efficient.
