Returnable transport items (RTIs) are key elements for enabling a smooth flow of goods throughout supply chains. Despite their importance, RTIs can be prone to high loss and breakage rates. Today’s RTI management processes are rather inefficient and are based on estimates about when, where and how RTIs are utilised. This limited visibility inevitably causes the involved parties to feel less res...

In the traditional economic order quantity/economic production quantity model, most of the items considered are of perfect type. But this situation rarely takes place in practice. Thus, in this paper, an economic order quantity model with imperfectquality items is developed. 100% screening process is performed, and the items of imperfect quality are sold as a single batch. A proportionate ra...

BACKGROUND The assessment of the quality of mammography services delivered in organized breast cancer screening programs should include measures centered on women's perceptions. The objective of this study was to develop and validate an instrument in French designed to evaluate the satisfaction of women having a screening mammography. METHODS An instrument evaluating women's satisfaction with...

In real life situation, advance technologies are used to produce items but due some technical error imperfect produced. Therefore it is necessary separate these by complete screening process and such sold at discounted price the end of process. This paper study about EOQ model for with shortage zero lead time. Additionally, provides a reduce emissions including carbon cap, tax, cap offset price...

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...

In the present paper we investigate a EOQ model for imperfect items under time variable linear demand. The defective items is being screened out by a 100 % screening process and then sold in a single batch by the end of the 100% screening process with a salvage price. The unsold perfect item during the cycle is sold at a different salvage price at the end of cycle. Two different types for cost ...

inventory control problem is one of the problems in decision making and management that contains non-crisp parameters in real world. economic production quantity (epq) model in fuzzy environment has been studied so far by many researchers. one of the main assumptions in all previous researches was neglecting the inventory shortage. in this research, a new multi-item epq model with fuzzy random ...

We study the planning of a multi-modal transportation system with perishable products, demand uncertainty and repositioning empty Returnable Transport Items (RTIs). propose rolling horizon framework where we periodically re-optimize. As such, relevant responses actions to new occurred are taken, possible updates plans can be made. Our considers customer demand, formulated as Scenario-based Two-...

This investigation presents an economic production quantity (EPQ) model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent demand and shortages. It is assumed that a constant fraction of the on-hand inventory deteriorates and demand rate depends upon the amount of the stock level. Expression for various optimal indices as well as cost analysis are provided. By taking numerical illustration, sensitivi...
