Customers are classified into three types with each type further segmented into multiple classes. Type I and Type II customers are selective and accept their favorite products only. Type III accepts either of the two products and hence its demand is regarded as the flexible demand. The management has to decide whether to run or stop production and whether the various classes of demand for each type of customers have to be satisfied from available inventory or not \u2014 in which case demand is lost \u2014 in order to minimize the firm\u2019s inventory and production costs. We formulate the problem as a make-to-stock queue system and characterize the optimal joint stock and production rationing policies as monotone switching curves. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the optimal policies and demonstrate the value of flexible demand. Moreover, we develop a simple heuristic policy and compare the costs associated with the optimal and heuristic policies for different parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0217595918500045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,15]],"date-time":"2018-01-15T03:04:12Z","timestamp":1515985452000},"page":"1850004","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Joint Stock and Capacity Rationings of a Make-To-Stock System with Flexible Demand"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Bing","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Logistics, School of Business, Jiangsu Normal University, Xuzhou 221116, P.
