Comparison of RIMSTOP (Retail Inventory Management Stockage Policy) to Current Retail Inventory Policies

摘要

A comparison by simulation is made between the RIMSTOP (Retail Inventory Management Stockage Policy) to current Army stockage procedures. Results indicate RIMSTOP expended fewer dollars than the current procedures to obtain the same customer satisfaction level. Also, stockage turbulence can be significantly reduced by extending the demand base used in depth and breadth decisions to two years. Currently a one year base is used. (Author)
