Abstract
The formulation and solution of the problem of determining safety stocks in a linear technological chain consisting of suppliers in a network structure is considered. It is assumed that the conditions for the production of suppliers in terms of throughput are quite sufficient to ensure deliveries on time in the required volume. The allocated volume of resources in the supplier's production system for these purposes cannot be predetermined precisely. It is a random variable that changes in a certain interval, which is actually confirmed statistically. Reducing losses from downtime of technological equipment is ensured by the creation of reserve stocks. For solving the problem the method of dynamic programming is used, which allows one to determine the optimal values of safety stocks analytically.
