Overview

Simulation-optimisation approach reduces costs in inventory management under supplier constraints.

Key Points

  • Substantial cost savings can be achieved through optimised joint replenishment practices.
  • The simulation-optimisation model effectively addresses supplier constraints like minimum order quantities.
  • Inventory managers can streamline multi-commodity replenishments with this practical method.
  • The modelling approach aids in mitigating excess inventory caused by supplier restrictions.
