Optimal and baseline values for inventory parameters

Clearly, the optimal values are smaller than the baseline parameters (except for Sy) indicating a smaller average stock level. Moreover, for the optimal configuration, the order frequency at the harbour is smaller since Sp/ -sff . This implies fewer 

240 phis is caused by rounding errors during simulation as well as the natural stochasticity of the responses. I.e. it cannot be decided whether a (marginal) difference in a response is caused by noise or an advantageous constellation of parameters.
