In this paper we propose a modification to the standard forecasting, periodic order-up-to-level inventory control approach to dealing with intermittent demand items, when the lead-time length is shorter than the average interdemand interval. In par... Read More about Periodic control of intermittent demand items : theory and empirical analysis.
