Lévy processes in storage and inventory problems

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we consider storage and inventory systems. Our aim is to apply and review main results of the fluctuation theory of stochastic processes in the context of storage and inventory modeling. We describe systems where the inflow is due to a Lévy process and the outflow is linear and conversely systems where the inflow is linear and the outflow is due to a Lévy process. For such systems we investigate the process of a storage (inventory) level. We give formulas for the probability that the storage level exceeds a certain value. This probability is crucial in the management of storage and inventory systems.
