Course Objectives The aim of this course is to introduce the basic inventory planning problems and solution methods to the students.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • calculate the reorder point and order quantity for inventory control in deterministic and stochastic demand cases
  • manage the coordinated replenishment strategies of multiple items
  • solve the inventory control problems in supply chains
  • recognize different solution techniques to solve inventory planning problems and use the most appropriate solution method
  • do the performance analysis of the solution obtained
Course Description Topics of this course include the importance of inventory planning, inventory planning of individual and multiple items and invemtory planning of special calsses of items.
