An extension of the stochastic Joint-Replenishment Problem under the class of cyclic policies

This paper presents an extension of the Joint-Replenishment Problem under the class of cyclic policies. The developed model includes stochastic demands, backorders-lost sales mixtures, and controllable lead times. With the objective of minimizing total system cost, we propose two heuristics. Numerical experiments investigate the algorithms performance and the model sensitivity.
