Strategic Inventory Allocation for Vehicle Rental Industries

Abstract

When vehicle rental units are not returned to their original location, inventory is disrupted and additional costs are incurred. This paper proposes inventory and information sharing among rental locations, and the option of offering the customer a substitute unit. The objective is to develop a strategy for offering units to customers that will allow the locations to improve inventory management while satisfying customer demand.
