SUMMARY Two inventory control models are discussed, for continuous demand and for instantaneous demand. It is shown that minimizing the cost due to the uncertainty of demand is a special case of the criterion of profit maximization. Certain major assumptions, outlined in the conclusions, are used to define the situation but these may be modified to extend the applicability of the results.
