We present here some recent results in single-product, capacitated production-inventory systems in discrete time. The key results are: (1) structure of optimal policy for single stage systems; (2) analysing via a shortfall process; (3) using simulation to optimize; (4) an approximation using tail probabilities. We consider periodic demand, and multiple stages — serial, distribution and assembly. Related topics of re-entrant flow shops, lead time quotation and value of information are also discussed briefly.
