Abstract

A centralized inventory problem is a situation in which several agents face individual inventory problems and make an agreement to coordinate their orders with the objective of reducing costs. In this paper we identify a centralized inventory problem arising in a farming community in northwestern Spain, model the problem using two alternative approaches, find the optimal inventory policies for both models, and propose allocation rules for sharing the optimal costs in this context.

In this paper we assume that the waiting time since an order is posed until it is received is deterministic, in which case it can be assumed to be zero. The deterministic nature of waiting times in this problem is realistic. In principle, the supplier guarantees to serve the orders the next day after they are posed.
