This paper analyzes the design of a distribution network for fast-moving items able to provide differentiated service levels in terms of product availability for two demand classes (high and low priority) using a critical level policy. The model is formulated as a MINLP with chance constraints for which we propose a heuristic to solve it. Although the heuristic does not guarantee an optimal solution, our computational experiments have shown that it provides good-quality solutions that are on average 0.8% and at worst 2.7% from the optimal solution.
