AbstractWe consider a discrete stochastic model of inventory control based on a controlled semi-Markov process. Probabilistic characteristics of the semi-Markov process are found along with characteristics of a stationary cost functional connected with this process. It is proved that an optimal policy of inventory control is a deterministic one. Explicit analitical representation of stationary functional characterising the control quality is obtained. An optimal control problem is reduced to the solution of an extremal problem for a multivariate function.
