Primes

• Substitutability
  • Substitutability is an insurance policy whose value Anupindi and Akella (1993) formalized in their analysis of dual-sourcing under supply uncertainty: diversifying across qualified, substitutable suppliers strictly reduces inventory holding costs and stockout risk relative to single sourcing when delivery is stochastic.

    This sourceFoundational dual-sourcing analysis: derives optimal order quantities across two qualified, substitutable suppliers under stochastic delivery, demonstrating strict reductions in inventory cost and stockout risk relative to single sourcing.
