In the classical inventory models, the common unrealistic assumption is that all the items produced are of good quality in nature. However, in realistic environment, it can be observed that there may be some defective items in an ordered lot. These items are usually picked up during the screening process and are sold as a single lot at the end of screening process. Further, it is tacitly assume...

we developed an inventory model for decaying items with selling price dependent demand in inflationary environment. deterioration rate is taken as two parameter weibull distribution. shortages in inventory are allowed with partial backlogging. backlogging rate is taken as exponential decreasing function of time. profit maximization technique is used in this study.

We consider a three-level distribution network involving a raw material supplier with imperfect quality, a manufacturer and several retailers. A production-inventory model accompanied by a partial backlogging approach is developed by considering random disruptions. Any batch received from the supplier is inspected by the manufacturer and if any flaw is visited, all the goods in the inspected ba...

W consider the problem of allocating demand arising from multiple products to multiple production facilities with finite capacity and load-dependent lead times. Production facilities can choose to manufacture items either to stock or to order. Products vary in their demand rates, holding and backordering costs, and service-level requirements. We develop models and solution procedures to determi...

Inventory control is considered one of the most widely documented topics in reality. Fractional derivatives and integration part fractional calculus. calculus generalized ordinary The memory physical phenomena a highly concerning topic but it neglected with describing terms integer-order differential equation. To discuss inventory model, derivative tools are considered. A at any point gives pre...

While there has been considerable work over the years on multistage lot-sizing models, particularly in an MRP environment, there has been relatively little work on systems recognizing the WIP effects when there is gradual conversion of the components into the final product, as in production planning using the EPQ model for planning the final product. Here we consider lot-sizing planning for a t...
