Abstract
A dynamic multilocation supply model with redistribution of the present stock at the end of every period is investigated. This model is a special 2-periodic stationary Markovian decision model. For linear cost-functions we show the optimality of a 2-stage lookahead policy, whose order rule is a (S, S policy. We consider in detail the two-location model and determine an approximate solution for the two-location model with more than two locations.
