ABSTRACT
In this paper we consider the problem of a homogeneous product delivery to various customers in connection with the objectives of inventory management, transportation, and warehousing. The mathematical model and the general scheme of an algorithm for the assigned problem solution are introduced. A particular attention is paid to the problem of inventory management. At the same time we propose to combine the various models of this problem into a single subsystem: deterministic, probabilistic and simulation, which is a modification of the well-known model.
