In this course:

• Students will learn to develop models of supply chains under different modelling assumptions;
• Students will understand the implications of alternative modelling assumptions;
• Students will be able able to mathematically analyze supply chains under specific structural assumptions (serial, convergent, divergent);
• Students get an appreciation of the open questions regarding optimal strategies for multi-item multi-echelon inventory systems.

The course starts with a description of supply chains as multi-item multi-echelon inventory systems. We discuss relevant performance characteristics and objective functions. We provide an overview of the most important results to date, thereby providing insight into optimal policy structures, relations between state variables at different echelons in the system and numerical methods to find optimal policies.
