Abstract
In this work, we undertook a comprehensive look at the modeling and planning of inventory in multi-echelon distribution networks where all warehouses use (R,Q)-order policies. Our contributions can be divided in three main areas: the approximation of wait time, the optimization of reorder points in 2-echelon networks and the generalization to n-level networks.
