Abstract
Minimum average cost ordering policies for continuously reviewed two product inventory systems with joint setup costs are sought. Disappointly, the optimal policy, even in a simple symmetric case, is not always simple: For some values of cost and demand parameters, a policy that would be difficult to implement is optimal. Markov Renewal Programming is used to find the region in parameter space where a given policy is optimal.
