This book explores the fundamental question of why businesses maintain inventory, delving into the economic and competitive forces that shape production and inventory policies. Through the development of stochastic models, the author demonstrates how customer behavior and rival firms influence a firm's decision between make-to-order and make-to-stock strategies. One of the key insights presented is that competition can induce inventory holding, akin to other economic factors such as economies of scale or uncertainty. Furthermore, the author argues that competition of this kind actually increases buyer welfare while decreasing producer welfare. By illuminating the interplay between inventory and factors like lead time and demand arrival uncertainty, this book sheds light on the complex dynamics of production and inventory management. Its analytical and numerical methods provide valuable tools for researchers and practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of these concepts.
