Abstract

This paper considers an infinite horizon stochastic production planning problem with demand assumed to be a continuous-time Markov process. Problems with control (production) and state (inventory) constraints are treated. It is shown that a unique optimal feedback solution exists. This solution is characterized in terms of a turnpike set, toward which the optimal inventory level approaches monotonically.

Keywords: infinite horizon, stochastic production, Markov process
