Definition

A single‑echelon, continuous‑review inventory model in which the inventory position is maintained at a fixed target level S (the base stock) by issuing replenishments that restore the position to S; used to meet stochastic demand and lead‑time variability, typically when fixed ordering costs are negligible and orders may be sized to bring the position to S.
