Abstract

This article analyzes a model of a multiechelon inventory system. The exogenous demands form Markov‐modulated Poisson processes. That is, the demand rates are functions of an underlying Markov chain. Each location follows a base‐stock policy which is independent of the state of the underlying Markov chain. We employ the exogenous transit mechanism introduced by Zipkin [7] and Svoronos and Zipkin [6]. The transit times between locations have phase‐type distributions. An exact procedure to compute steady‐state performance measures is presented. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
