In this paper, an purchasing inventory model for deteriorating items is developed with a linear, positive trend in demand, allowing inventory shortages and backlogging. It is assumed that the goods in the inventory deteriorate over time at a constant rate . Two models are developed for two operational policies. The first policy covers the case that the inventory model with linear demand for det...

In recent researches, vendor managed inventory (VMI) policy is rarely considered for deteriorating items.   This study considered the supply chain partner’s collaboration via a VMI system and provided an EOQ model for a two-level supply chain (single supplier - single retailer) to examine the inventory management proceedings for VMI and non-VMI supply chains. By a new approach in modeling, the ...

  We discuss the effects of inflation and time discounting on an EOQ model for deteriorating items under stock-dependent demand and time-dependent partial backlogging. The inventory model is studied under the replenishment policy starting with no shortages. We then use MATLAB to find the optimal replenishment policies. The objective of this model is to maximize the total profit (TP) which inclu...

The purpose of this research is to propose several optimization methods for the stochastic multi-period disassembly lot-sizing problem. case one type end-of-life product and a two-level system studied. lead times are discrete random variables with known bounded probability distribution. objective optimize expected value total cost, which sum setup overload inventory holding cost backlogging cos...

In this article, we study an inventory system for items that have a power demand pattern and where shortages are allowed. We suppose only fixed proportion of during the stock-out period is backordered. The decision variables cycle ratio between initial stock total quantity demanded throughout cycle. objective to maximize Return on Inventory Investment (ROII) defined as profit per unit time over...

This paper presents an inventory model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent selling rate under inflation and time value of money over a finite planning horizon. In the model, shortages are allowed and the unsatisfied demand is partially backlogged at the exponential rate with respect to the waiting time. We establish the theoretical results and provide an efficient solution procedure to...

In today’s competitive markets, selling price and purchasing cost are usually fluctuating with economic conditions. Both selling price and purchasing cost are vital to the profitability of a firm. Therefore, in this paper, I extend the inventory model introduced by Teng and Yang 2004 to allow for not only the selling price but also the purchasing cost to change from one replenishment cycle to a...
