| Keywords: | Inventory management Cooperative Games |
| Description: | Trabajo publicado como artículo en Operations Research Letters 33(3): 285-288 (2005).-- http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.orl.2004.06.005 We study the location-inventory model as introduced by Teo et al. (2001) to analyze the impact of consolidation of distribution centers on facility and inventory costs. We extend their result on profitability of consolidation. We associate a cooperative game with each location-inventory situation and prove that this game has a non-empty core for identical and independent demand processes. This illustrates that consolidation does not only lower joint costs (which was shown by Teo et al. (2001)), but it allows for a stable division of the minimal costs as well. F.
