Abstract
In Chap. 2 we stated how we will be talking about inventory systems, what structure and elements may be considered, and which performance metrics may be used for an evaluation. Following on that, we gave an overview of single-level static stochastic inventory systems and problem aspects that have already been studied scientifically (Chap. 3). We were primarily trying to give an introduction to the general way of thinking about managing inventories that underlies this present study. We also indicated studies that exhibit similar problem scopes to those we are concerned with, discussing two closely related papers in greater depth.
