Communications to the Editor—A Correction for “Optimal Policy for a Multiproduct Dynamic, Nonstationary Inventory Problem”

    Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.16.7.518

    I am indebted to Lowell Bruce Anderson of Nothwestern University for pointing out to me that Theorems 6.1 and 6.2 in my paper “Optimal Policy for a Multiproduct Dynamic, Nonstationary Inventory Problem,” (Management Science, Vol. 12, No. 3 (November 1965), pp. 206–222) are false as stated. The theorems become true if we replace the weak hypothesis (6.1) with the stronger hypothesis (6.3).
