In this study, we constructed a stochastic process ( X ( t )) that expresses a semi‐Markovian inventory model of type ( s , S ) and it is shown that this process is ergodic under some weak conditions. Moreover, we obtained exact and asymptotic expressions for the n th order moments ( n  = 1,2,3, … ) of ergodic distribution of the process X ( t ), as S  −  s  → ∞ . Finally, we tested how close the obtained approximation formulas are to the exact expressions. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
