This approachallows more general performance measures, demand processes and order policies, and leads toeasier analysis and implementation, than prior research. We obtain closed form expressions forthe Laplace transforms of the expressions of the performance measures, and with the help of anefficient inversion algorithm, the approximations of these cost and service measures are almost upto machine precision.
