Abstract:
The paper considers the optimal control problem of inventory of
a discrete product in a regeneration scheme with a Poisson flow of customer
requirements. In the system, deferred demand is allowed, the volume
of which is limited by a given value. The control parameter is the level
of the stock, at which achievement it is necessary to make an order for
replenishment. The indicator of management effectiveness is the average
specific profit received in one regeneration period. The optimal control
problem is solved on the basis of the statement about the extremum of
a fractional-linear integral functional
on the set of discrete probability distributions.
Keywords:inventory management of a discrete product, controlled regenerative process, extremal problem for a fractional-linear integral functional.
