Abstract: Inventory management is one of the key operational functions of a company which, in the context of modern Supply Chain Management schemes, plays an important role both for the company itself and the coordination with the SC partners. Especially the aspect of service level and stockout probability has become critical. Classical methods of inventory management are based on simple analytical formulae which, however, only treat special cases. In this contribution we present a tool for the optimization of inventory management which is based on a simulation of the ordering processes. The full stochastic properties of the ordering process are incorporated which allows an accurate determination of performance measures like service level. With this tool, the determination of cost-minimal inventory parameters (reorder level, reorder quantity) for given stockout probability is easily possible.
