PyPI Documentation Status Coverage GitHub GitHub issues Twitter Follow

Stockpyl is a Python package for inventory optimization. It implements classical single-node inventory models like the economic order quantity (EOQ), newsvendor, and Wagner-Whitin problems. It also contains algorithms for multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO) under both stochastic-service model (SSM) and guaranteed-service model (GSM) assumptions.

Most of the models and algorithms implemented in Stockpyl are discussed in the textbook Fundamentals of Supply Chain Theory (FoSCT) by Snyder and Shen, Wiley, 2019, 2nd ed. Most of them are much older; see FoSCT for references to original sources.

For a tutorial, see Snyder, L. V., "Stockpyl: A Python Package for Inventory Optimization and Simulation," in: Bish, E. K. and H. Balasubramanian, INFORMS TutORials in Operations Research, 156–197, 2023. The associated Jupyter notebooks are at notebooks/.

For lots of details, read the docs.

Some Examples

Solve the newsvendor problem with a holding (overage) cost of 2, a stockout (underage) cost of 18, and demands that are normally distributed with a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 10:

>>> from stockpyl.newsvendor import newsvendor_normal
>>> S, cost = newsvendor_normal(holding_cost=2, stockout_cost=18, demand_mean=120, demand_sd=10)
>>> S
132.815515655446
>>> cost
35.09966638649737

Use Chen and Zheng's (1994) algorithm (based on Clark and Scarf (1960)) to optimize a 3-node serial system under the stochastic-service model (SSM):

>>> from stockpyl.ssm_serial import optimize_base_stock_levels
>>> S_star, C_star = optimize_base_stock_levels(
...     num_nodes=3,
...     echelon_holding_cost=[4, 3, 1],
...     lead_time=[1, 1, 2],
...     stockout_cost=40,
...     demand_mean=10,
...     demand_standard_deviation=2
... )
>>> S_star
{1: 12.764978727246302, 2: 23.49686681508743, 3: 46.28013742779933}
>>> C_star
86.02533221942987

Simulate the same system using the optimal base-stock levels:

Optimize committed service times (CSTs) for a tree network under the guaranteed-service model (GSM) using Graves and Willems' (2000) dynamic programming algorithm:

>>> from stockpyl.gsm_tree import optimize_committed_service_times
>>> from stockpyl.instances import load_instance
>>> # Load a named instance, Example 6.5 from FoSCT.
>>> tree = load_instance("example_6_5")
>>> opt_cst, opt_cost = optimize_committed_service_times(tree)
>>> opt_cst
{1: 0, 3: 0, 2: 0, 4: 1}
>>> opt_cost
8.277916867529369
