Deterministic inventory model
Maintaining an optimum level of inventory is important but sometimes can be a daunting task. It is for this reason that several proven techniques and models have been created to help businesses determine the optimum level of their stock. A deterministic inventory model is one of these methods that helps in forecasting and prediction. It is founded on the notion that all aspects and variables that are related to the inventory are known by the firm. A deterministic model assumes that there is no doubt related to the demand and supply of stock.
