In this paper, the traditional inventory lot-size model is extended to allow not only for general partial backlogging rate but also for inflation. The assumptions of equal cycle length and constant shortage length imposed in the model developed by Moon et al. [Moon, I., Giri, B.C., Ko, B., 2005. Economic order quantity models for ameliorating/deteriorating items under inflation and time discoun...

Classical deterministic inventory models consider the demand rate to be either constant or time-dependent but independent from the stock status. However, for a certain type of inventory, the demand rate may be in-fluenced by the stock level. Also in many real-life problems, some products such as fruits, vegetables, phar-maceuticals and volatile liquids continuously deteriorate to evaporation, o...

Multi-objective inventory models of deteriorating items have been developed with vague and imprecise information about available storage area. Here, the objectives are (i) to maximize the profit, (ii) to minimize the wastage cost due to deterioration and (iii) to minimize the total production cost. These objectives are also fuzzy in nature. In these models, production rate is a decision variabl...
