When Demand Varies Predictably
• D(t) = cumulative demand to time t
• D’(t) = rate of demand at time t.
• Two cases:– Only Rent Costs matter– Only Inventory Costs matter
33
To Minimize the Maximum...
• Make them all the same size
• If we have n shipments in time t, make them all size D(t)/n
• Question reduces to n– Trade off shipment cost (smaller n) vs– Inventory cost (larger n)
44
That’s just an EOQ problem
• Total cost with n shipments is– Transportation cost (ignore variable portion)
• fixed*n
– Inventory Cost• Rent Cost is $/unit/year• Rent * (D(T)/n)*T
– Average Cost per unit• Rent*T/n + fixed*n/D(T)
– So n is Rent*T*D(T)/fixed
55
More realistic - Ignore Rent
• Wagner-Whitin Dynamic programming approach.
• Computationally intensive
• How accurate is the forecast of demand?
• How sensitive is the cost to the answer?

The Continuous Approximation Approach
t0t1 t2 t3
Fixed shipment cost + ci*area
t’
Area (t3-t2)height/2
There is some t’ where Area = (t3-t2)2D’(t’)/2
height (t3-t2)D’(t’)
88
Step Function
• H(t) = (ti - ti-1) if ti-1 t < ti
• So total
cost = (Fixed + c*areai)
= (Fixed + c*(ti - ti-1)2D’(ti’)/2)
= (Fixed + c*H(ti’)2D’(ti’)/2)
= (Fixed /H(t) + c*H(t)D’(t’)/2)dt
An abuse of notation
99
Equivalence= (Fixed + c*H(ti’)2D’(ti’)/2)
= (Fixed /H(t) + c*H(t)D’(t’)/2)dt
Why?
Fixed /H(t)dt = ti ti-1
Fixed /H(t)dt
• = ti ti-1
Fixed /(ti - ti-1)dt
• = Fixed
c*H(t)D’(t’)/2dt = ti ti-1
c*H(t)D’(ti’)/2dt
• = ti ti-1
c*(ti - ti-1) D’(ti’)/2dt
• = c*(ti - ti-1)2 D’(ti’)/2
• = c*H(t’i)2 D’(ti’)/2
1010
Approximation
Total cost
= (Fixed + c*H(ti’)2D’(ti’)/2)
= (Fixed /H(t) + c*H(t)D’(t’)/2)dt
(Fixed /H(t) + c*H(t)D’(t)/2)dt
• Find a smooth function H(t) that minimizes the cost (an EOQ formula)
• H(t) = (2Fixed/cD’(t))

What is H(t)?
• If Demand is constant with rate D’
• We dispatch every t time units
• Cost per time = Fixed/t + ctD’/2
• Best headway is• t = (2Fixed/cD’)
• Compare with H(t)
• H(t) = (2Fixed/cD’(t))
1313
Back to the Discrete World
• We have a continuous approximation H(t) to the discrete (step function) headways.
• How do we recover implementable headways from H(t)?
1414
Consistent Headways
• Finding Headways consistent with H(t)
• Headway = Avg of H(t) in [0, Headway]• Avg = Integral of H(t) over the Headway/Headway• Headway2 = Integral of H(t) over the Headway
• Find Headways so that the squares approximate the area under H(t)

• Total Cost 35.34
• Is that any good?

A Better Model
minimize TotalCost:
sum{t in Periods} FixedTransp*Ship[t] +
sum{s in Periods, t in Periods: t >= s} VarTransp*Q[s,t] +
sum{s in Periods, t in Periods: t >= s} (t-s)*Q[s,t];
s.t. MeetDemand{t in Periods}:
sum{s in Periods: s <= t} Q[s,t] = Demand[t];
s.t. ShipOrNot{s in Periods, t in Periods: t >=s}:
Q[s,t] <= Ship[s]*Demand[t];
2525
Why’s it Better• Solves faster
• LP relaxation closer to MIP solutions
• Didn’t aggregate constraints
Q[s,t] <= Ship[s]*Demand[t]
• Implies
sum{t in Periods: t >= s} Q[s,t]
<= Ship[s]*sum{t in Periods: t>= s} Demand[t];
Q[s] <= Ship[s]*sum{t in Periods: t >= s} Demand[t];
