## Abstract We discuss a time dependent optimal ordering policy for a finite horizon inventory system for which the provision of service is essential and thus no stockout is allowed. It is assumed that the system can place an order at any point in time during the horizon when it cannot meet the cus

Abstract
Using Markov renewal theory, we derive analytic expressions for the expected average cost associated with (s, S) policies for a continuous review inventory model with a compound Poisson demand process and stochastic lead time, under the (restrictive) assumption that only one order can be outstanding.

Using a system-point (SP) method of level crossings, we derive the stationary distribution of the inventory level (stock on hand) in a continuous-review inventory system with compound Poisson demand, Erlang as well as hyperexponentially distributed lead times, and lost sales. This distribution is th
