We discuss stochastic, continuous-time models of serial multi-level production/inventory systems using quasi-variational inequalities. The value functions are characterized as maximum solutions of suitable equivalent problems. Then, we show how to construct optimal centralized policies and, if possible, decentralized policies. Finally, we present some numerical examples for the deterministic case.
