Why is it important?

It is the first exact analysis of perishable inventories with fixed lifetime and a positive leadtime.

Perspectives

This paper introduces a novel method to analyze a continuous review replenishment problem for perishables with positive replenishment lead times and random Poisson demand. The analysis explicitly considers the remaining shelflife of a batch when a new batch arrives and provides analytical results.
