This thesis presents approaches towards optimizing stochastic inventory control and production settings. The theory of optimal inventory control under fix costs is extended by cyclically changing order fix costs. Two practical inventory problems from retail, both considering handling efforts, are solved by data-driven optimization to model non-stationary uncertainty. The production sequence of an automotive supplier who produces just-in-sequence on a mixed-model assembly line is optimized via resequencing.
