Abstract: This paper considers the problem of redistributing stock among several user activities within the period between regular deliveries of new supplies to the system. The cost of redistribution is assumed to be proportional to the number of shipments among the activities. A procedure based on minimizing total redistribution and shortage costs within the period is given for determining the amounts (if any) to be shipped among activities.
