In this paper, an attempt has been made to study deterministic inventory models for deteriorating items with variable holding cost. This model has been developed considering demand function as quadratic with respect to time and salvage value is associated to the deteriorated items. At the end numerical example with sensitivity analysis also presented.

Deterioration cannot be avoided in business scenarios. Deterioration is defined as change, damage, decay, spoilage obsolescence and loss of utility or loss of original value in a commodity that results in the decreasing usefulness from the original one product. Normally inventory models of deteriorating items, such as food products, vegetables, etc. involve imprecise parameters, like imprecise ...

To analyze effects of supply chain coordination for deteriorating goods with stock-dependent demand rate, this paper presents decision models for order quantity and ordering cycle under two scenarios( decentralized supply chain, centralized supply chain). Numerical study is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed models, and to analyze the impact of supply chain coordinatio...

In this paper a deterministic inventory model is developed when the deterioration is constant. Demand rate is a function of selling price and holding cost is taken as time dependent. The model is solved allowing shortage in inventory. The results are solved with the help of numerical example by using Mathematica 5.1. The sensitivity analysis of the solution has done with the changes of the valu...

This paper addresses a single item two-level supply chain inventory model considering deterioration during carrying of deteriorating from supplier’s warehouse to retailer’s as well in the warehouse. The assumes preservation technology prevent rate deterioration. An upper limit for investment has been set constraint model. maximizes profit per unit time, simultaneously calculated optimal order q...
