The objective of this paper is to develop an inventory model with fuzzy inflation and multi variant demand rate. A new demand rate introduced which depends on price, quality and time. Planning horizon is random in nature for manufacturing company. Production rate is taken to be flexible in nature which depends on the technology frequency, capital investment and its elasticity and number of labo...

In most inventory models it is assumed that the parameters of the model do not vary with time, and that the payment of orders from the retailer to the supplier is made immediately up on the receipt of these orders. Some suppliers, however, allow a certain fixed period to settle payment accounts. During this fixed period no interest is charged by the supplier, but beyond that period an interest,...

An inventory model for deteriorating items over a fuzzy random planning horizon incorporating inflation and time value of money is studied. It is assumed that planning horizon follows exponential distribution with imprecise parameter. The model is formulated using cost minimization principle. As the fuzzy cost cannot be minimized directly, the possibilistic mean value of the fuzzy cost is found...

This paper deals with an inflation induced stock dependent demand inventory model with permissible delay in payments. In real life situations, some products maintain freshness and quality for some time. This inventory model is developed for non-instantaneous deteriorating items. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the optimal policies for maximizing the total profits. Numerical examples are ...

Background and Objectives: In the real world, the obsolescence items are some items that lose their value over time due to the emergence of new technology. Because of rapid changes in technology, inventory management of such items is considered in recent years. Moreover, suppliers try to encourage the retailers for purchasing an item before it is outmoded with some policies suc...

‎this paper proposes a multi-supplier multi-product inventory model in which the suppliers have unlimited production capacity, allow delayed payment, and offer either an all-unit or incremental discount. the retailer can delay payment until after they have sold all the units of the purchased product. the retailer’s warehouse is limited, but the surplus can be stored in a rented warehouse at a...
