title = "The capacitated multi-echelon inventory system with serial structure. 2. An average cost approximation method",
abstract = "This paper considers a multi-echelon, periodic review inventory model with discrete demand. We assume finite capacities on various production/order sizes and backordering of excess demand. We have already seen that modified base-stock policies work quite well under an average cost criterion. Here a method will be presented which provides an approximation of the average costs corresponding to a modified base-stock policy in a certain class of multi-echelon serial systems. In this the moment-iteration method developed by De Kok plays a central role.",
