Description The BaseStockSim software allows users to simulate multi-stage
inventory systems with reliable or unreliable stages. Despite its name, BaseStockSim can
accommodate several types of inventory policies, including base-stock, (R,Q), and (s,S) policies,
as well as a modified (R,Q) policy in which the value of Q is chosen dynamically based on the
values of the state variables. For base-stock policies, base-stock levels are set by the user
explicitly but may also be interpreted using the "committed service time" notion of so-called
guaranteed-service models (see, e.g., Simpson 1958, Kimball 1988, Graves and Willems 2000, 2003).
After running the simulation,
you can view an "instant replay" to examine the inventory and backorder
levels at each stage and watch the system evolve over time. BaseStockSim also has a feature
for performing batch runs in order to test many values of the parameters in sequence.
