摘要：

We prove the convexity of the objective function for any continuous demand distribution for a common component inventory problem as considered in Jonsson and Silver (Engineering Costs and Production Economics 16 (1989) 257-267). This result guarantees that a local optimum is the global optimum. It facilitates the determination of optimal stock levels for the components. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
