Abstract

We consider a periodic review inventory system and present its optimal policy in
the infinite horizon setting. The optimal inventory policy that maximizes the infinite
horizon expected discounted prot for the model is analytically obtained by relating to the finite horizon setting using results from variational analysis. Results are provided that elucidate the operations of the inventory system in the long run.
