This study focuses on the inventory problems for serial-type and assembly-type supply chains. Since the mainline and each branch line of the assembly-type supply chain can be treated as a serial-type supply chain, a model of a serial-type supply chain is first constructed and then an integrated model is developed for the whole assembly-type supply chain. Both problems are solved optimally by the proposed polynomial-time algorithm, which determines the economic lot size, the optimal batch sizes, and the number of batches for each stage. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the algorithmic procedures.
Keywords: lot size., supply chain, Inventory.
