We have an inventory to manage. The scenario is standard in all respects save one. Instead of arriving unannounced, customers provide advance warning of their demands. How should we use this information, and what is its effect on system performance? The answers turn out to be strikingly simple. There are very simple policies which perform effectively, in some cases optimally. Also such "demand leadtimes" improve performance, in precisely the same way that replenishment leadtimes degrade it.value of information, customer supplier relations, inventory control

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
