Summary: This paper revisits the classical discrete-time stationary inventory model. A new proof, based on the theory of quasivariational inequality (QVI), of the optimality of \((s,S)\) policy is presented. This proof reveals a number of interesting properties of the optimal cost function. Further, the proof could be used as a tutorial for applications of QVI to inventory control.
