We develop a computational scheme for generating a primal feasible solution from any Lagrangian dual vector; this is referred to as "early primal recovery". It is motivated by the desire to obtain a primal feasible vector before convergence of a Lagrangian scheme; such a vector is not available from a Lagrangian dual vector unless it is optimal. The scheme is constructed such that if we apply it from a sequence of Lagrangian dual vectors that converge to an optimal one, then the resulting primal (feasible) vectors converge to the unique optimal primal flow vector. It is therefore also a convergent Lagrangian heuristic, akin to those primarily devised within the field of combinatorial optimization but with the contrasting and striking advantage that it is guaranteed to yield a primal optimal solution in the limit. Thereby we also gain access to a new stopping criterion for any Lagrangian dual algorithm for the problem, which is of interest in particular if the SSCNFP arises as a subproblem in a more complex model. We construct instances of convergent Lagrangian heuristics that are based on graph searches within the residual graph, and therefore are efficiently implementable; in particular we consider two shortest path based heuristics that are based on the optimality conditions of the original problem. Numerical experiments report on the relative efficiency and accuracy of the various schemes.

All installations use continuous review installation stock RY Q-policies for replenishing their inventories. Our approach is based on an approximate cost evaluation technique, where the retailers replace their stochastic lead-times by correct averages. By introducing a modi®ed cost-structure at the warehouse, the multi-level inventory control problem can be decomposed into N 1 single level sub-problems, one problem for each installation. The sub-problems are then solved in an iterative manner by a simple coordination procedure, which can be interpreted as a negotiation process. In the case of normally distributed demand we show that the procedure converges to a near optimal solution. To assess the quality of the involved approximation an upper bound for the relative cost increase of using the obtained solution is derived. We also provide a numerical study illustrating the performance of our approach.
