Abstract

Expected inventory order crossovers occur if at the moment of ordering it is expected that orders will not arrive in the sequence they are ordered. Recent research has shown that (a) expected inventory order crossovers will be encountered more frequently in future, and that (b) use of a myopic order-up-to policy based on a stochastic dynamic programming approach leads to improved performance compared to the classical approach. In this paper, we show that the improved policy is still heuristic in nature, as it neglects several control options that are available on the various ordering moments and makes some restrictive assumptions with respect to the separability (i.e., decomposability) of the stochastic dynamic programming problem. We propose further improvements in the policy for situations where a quadratic cost function is appropriate.
