MARLIM: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Inventory Management

Rémi Leluc · Elie Kadoche · Antoine Bertoncello · Sébastien Gourvénec


Abstract:

Maintaining a balance between the supply and demand of products by optimizing replenishment decisions is one of the most important challenges in the supply chain industry. This paper presents a novel reinforcement learning framework called MARLIM, to address the inventory management problem for a single-echelon multi-products supply chain with stochastic demands and lead-times. Within this context, controllers are developed through single or multiple agents in a cooperative setting. Numerical experiments on real data demonstrate the benefits of reinforcement learning methods over traditional baselines.
