In this paper, an inventory model for deterioration items in a two-echelon supply chain including one retailer and one manufacturer is proposed by considering the stock and price dependent demand and capacity constraint for holding inventories. First, the model is presented as a leader-follower game in which the manufacturer announces wholesale prices. Second, the retailer decides for the order...

This study models a joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decision-making problem for deteriorating items subject to stochastic demand and promotional effort. The generalized price-dependent stochastic demand, time proportional deterioration, and partial backlogging rates are used to model the inventory system. The objective is to find the optimal pricing, replenishment, and preservation t...

In recent years, various researchers have discussed a two warehouse inventory system. This kind of system was first discussed by Hartely (1976) [10]. Hartely presented a basic two-warehouse model, in which the cost of transporting a unit from rented warehouse (RW) to own warehouse (OW) was not considered. Sarma (1983)[20] developed a deterministic inventory model with infinite replenishment rat...

Abstract— Perishable inventory constitute a large portion of the world economy and include virtually all foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, fashion goods, electronic items, periodicals, digital goods and many more as they lose value with time due to deterioration and/or obsolescence. Retailers dealing with perishable goods have to consider the factors of short shelf life and the dependency of sales v...

The purpose of this study was to validate a reduced version (15 items) of the Boston Naming Test (BNT) in a sample of 78 low-educational elderly persons with or without dementia, as determined by independent assessment with a battery of cognitive tests. The reduced version was found to be equivalent to the complete BNT, and to have criterion validity with respect to other measures of dementia. ...
