About

Inventory theory is a field within operations research and management science dedicated to developing mathematical models and analytical techniques for the optimal management of inventory levels. It investigates decision-making policies concerning ordering, stocking, and production quantities and timing, considering various cost structures (e.g., holding, ordering, shortage) and demand characteristics, with the objective of minimizing total relevant costs while meeting service level requirements in supply chain and operational systems.
