In this paper we give a complete analysis of the joint replenishment problem (JRP) under constant demands and continuous time. We present a solution method for the JRP when a correction is made for empty replenishments, and we test the solution procedures with real data. We show that the solutions obtained differ from the standard JRP when no correction is made in the cost function. We further show that the JRP with correction outperforms independent ordering. Additional numerical experiments are presented.
