Abstract
We consider a stochastic serial inventory system with a given fixed batch size per stage and linear inventory holding and penalty costs. For this system, echelon stock ( R , n Q ) policies are known to be optimal. On the basis of new average costs formulas, we obtain newsvendor equations for the optimal reorder levels.
