Minimax distribution free procedure with backorder price discount
نویسنده
چکیده
The inventory models analyzed in this paper explore the problem in which the lead time and ordering cost reductions are inter-dependent in the continuous review inventory model with backorder price discount. The objective is to minimize total related cost by simultaneously optimizing the order quantity, reorder point, lead time and backorder price discount. Moreover, we assume that the mean and variance of the lead time demand are known, but its probability distribution is unknown. We apply a minimax distribution free procedure to find the optimal solution, and three numerical examples are given to illustrate the results. r 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Periodic inventory model with unstable lead-time and setup cost with backorder discount
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the periodic inventory model with backorder price discounts, where shortages are partially backlogged. The application of just-in-time (JIT) philosophy i.e., crashing of the lead-time and setup cost has been carried component wise. Two cases have been discussed viz 1 protection interval demand distribution is known (normal distribution approach) ...
متن کاملOptimal Inventory Policy Involving Ordering Cost Reduction, Back-Order Discounts, and Variable Lead Time Demand by Minimax Criterion
This paper allows the backorder rate as a control variable to widen applications of a continuous review inventory model. Moreover, we also consider the backorder rate that is proposed by combining Ouyang and Chuang 2001 or Lee 2005 with Pan and Hsiao 2001 to present a new form. Thus, the backorder rate is dependent on the amount of shortages and backorder price discounts. Besides, we also treat...
متن کاملComputational procedure of optimal inventory model involving controllable backorder rate and variable lead time with defective units
This paper investigates the backorder rate inventory problem with defective units. In practice, the uncertainties of customer’s demand and backorder rate are inherent; hence, backorder rate and customer’s demand are not constant. In this study, we assume that the backorder rate is dependent on the amount of shortages and backorder price discounts, and the lead time demand follows a mixture of d...
متن کاملAn integrated vendor-buyer inventory model with backorder price discount and effective investment to reduce ordering cost
The single-vendor single-buyer integrated production inventory system has been an object of study for a long time, but little is known about the effect of investing in reducing ordering cost on the integrated inventory models with backorder price discount and variable lead time. The purpose of this article is to investigate in the continuous review model with backorder price discount and variab...
متن کاملOptimal inventory model with defective units involving controllable backorder rate and variable lead time with mixtures of distribution
This paper considers that the number of defective units in an arrival order to be a binominal random variable. We derive a modified mixture inventory model with backorders and lost sales, in which the order quantity and lead time are decision variables. In our studies, we also assume that the backorder rate is dependent on the length of lead time through the amount of shortages and let the back...
