Abstract
In this paper we present a variational approach of a continuous multi-echelon inventory problem which allows us to determine the optimal instants and size of orders to be requested by each installation. By means of this technique, the initial problem is reduced to a hierarchic system of one dimensional quasi-variational inequalities. This decomposition enables us to solve each step of the system by a implementation of current numerical algorithms for ordinary differential equations.
