Hello fellow researchers.
I want to have your insigth on the categorization of inventory model based on demand pattern data. i have 8 item in different consumption value class and of course different consumption rate.
currently im using Average demand interval (ADI) analysis and coefficient variation (CV) analysis to categorize irregular pattern as lumpy, intermitten, erratic and smooth. as far as analyzed them by monthly usage , 2 of them are erratic and 6 are lumpy.
for the inventory model categorization, i already know 4 types of them based the book ive read (silver, et al 1998): continous review model : (s,S), (s,Q) Period review model : (R,s,S),(R,S)
do you guys have any insigth how to categorized them to wich kind of inventory model will be used in the first place based on the demand pattern i attached?
further, i will use those model and calculate their variables to get the optimal value using cost minimization function.
