摘要：

Given an initial system stock, a fixed planning horizon and two shipping possibilities from the central warehouse until the next system replenishment, the problem of deciding how much to ship initially to each warehouse is addressed. The stock retained at the central warehouse will be allocated to the branches at the second shipping opportunity so as to, if possible, balance the inventory levels, thus maximizing the customer service until the time of the next replenishment. An approximation of the multi-variate probability distribution of the inventory levels at the regional warehouses, after the second shipping opportunity, is presented. Given a desired customer service level, the optimal initial system stock and the associated allocation are derived on the basis of this approximation. Characteristics of the optimal solution are discussed.
