Abstract
In the preceding chapters, a number of basic inventory models — especially the stochastic models — were introduced. Most of these models, however, must be modified to fit the requirements in actual practice. Because of this, the models may change in such a way that the suggested solution is no longer suitable; for example, when considering multiple discount breaks and transportation costs. This chapter, therefore, introduces a number of numerical methods which help one to calculate very general models. The method due to FEDERGRUEN and ZIPKIN (1984) discussed in the last section is an exception.
