This study presents a two level-parallel type inventory systems with one upper level facility in the first echelon and n-lower level facilities in the second echelon. The stocks at the lowest facilities can become unbalanced with the random variations in the demands. This paper deals with the imbalance by considering redistribution and backorder. The system with redistribution and the system with backorder and redistribution are analized. The comparison of two cases shows that the system with redistribution and backorder gives smaller stocks than the system with redistribution.
