This paper deals with infinite time horizon fuzzy Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) models for deteriorating items with stock dependent demand rate and nonlinear holding costs by taking deterioration rate 0 θ as a triangular fuzzy number ( ) , , 2 0 0 1 0 δ θ θ δ θ + − , where 0 2 1 , 0 θ δ δ < < are fixed real numbers. The traditional parameters such as unit cost and ordering cost have been kept c...

We discuss a quantity discount problem between a seller (wholesaler) and a buyer (retailer). The seller purchases products from an upper-leveled supplier (manufacturer) and then sells them to the buyer who faces her/his customers’ demand. The seller attempts to increase her/his profit by controlling the buyer’s order quantity through a quantity discount strategy and the buyer tries to maximize ...

In this paper, an economic order quantity (EOQ) inventory model for a deteriorating item is developed with the following characteristics: (i) The demand rate is deterministic and two-staged, i.e., it is constant in first part of the cycle and linear function of time in the second part. (ii) Deterioration rate is time-proportional. (iii) Shortages are not allowed to occur. The o...

This paper addresses a single item two-level supply chain inventory model considering deterioration during carrying of deteriorating from supplier’s warehouse to retailer’s as well in the warehouse. The assumes preservation technology prevent rate deterioration. An upper limit for investment has been set constraint model. maximizes profit per unit time, simultaneously calculated optimal order q...

a deterioration and the consequent status of feeblemindedness, this child must receive treatment different from that given the entirely normal individual. The mentality, both functional and structural, must be determined by an analysis which will reveal the phases where special training is required by the child. This analysis is made by the use of well defined and carefully administered tests. ...

A finite horizon inventory model for a single deteriorating product is studied. The system is under periodic review and there is a positive fixed order cost associated with any placed order. The demand in successive periods is independent and identically distributed. A constant fraction of any positive leftover stock is deteriorated at the end of each period. Any unsatisfied demand is partially...

The main objective of this paper is to develop a two-warehouse inventory model with partial backordering and Weibull distribution deterioration. We consider inflation and apply the discounted cash flow in problem analysis. The discounted cash flow DCF and optimization framework are presented to derive the optimal replenishment policy that minimizes the total present value cost per unit time. Wh...
