Abstract

In this paper, we address a multi-retailer inventory system with transshipment. Transshipment is used as recourse action occurring after an expected demand is realized. The remaining unsatisfied demand after transshipment is lost. We use various pooling policies for transshipment. We also develop a simulation model for such system that allows us to characterize the effects of pooling policies with/without constraints on system performance measures. The constraints are system lost sales per period and capacity per tranship.
