This thesis discusses the use of inventory pooling methods in inventory management for the so-called multi-location systems whereby the stocking locations share their inventories, typically by using lateral transhipments, in order to fill demand at a stock-out retailer with supplies from another having surplus items. The capability of conventional pooled-inventory systems are upgraded with the proposal herin of a novel approach that employs emergency orders along with lateral transshipments to improve network performamce under a high shortage-penalty environment. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2008.
