However, the main analytical result they provide holds only for some special cases such as Poisson arrivals with exponential interarrival times. In this note we generalize Theorem 1 of Lian and Liu (2001) for the case where the arrivals follow an arbitrary renewal process.EnglishCalculationsHeuristic methodsInventory controlLaplace transformsMarkov processesMathematical modelsTheorem provingInventory systemsPoisson arrivalsOperations researchArticle10.1080/074081703043691545-8830
