The classical economic order quantity model is extended to the case where items may be acquired from various suppliers. It assumed that any lot size received a supplier contains perfect and imperfect quality items. percentage of in random variable having known probability distribution. are detected through 100% screening process conducted at start inventory cycle. When concluded, sold one batch...

In the business world, it is generally observed that supplier gives cash discount due to advance payment. The buyer may either pay off total purchase cost or a fraction of before receiving products. If makes full payment then he receives instantly. pays cost, (s)he while paying remaining amount at time lot. Moreover, in most inventory models, assumed delivered lot contains only perfect items. B...

Many times it happens that units ordered are not of 100% good quality. A deterministic inventory model with imperfect quality is developed when the deterioration rate is Weibull distribution. Here it is assumed that holding cost is time dependent. The model has been framed to study the items whose deterioration rate increase with time under permissible delay in payments with imperfect quality. ...

This article deals with an economic order quantity (EOQ) inventory model for items with imperfect quality in fuzzy stochastic environment, wherein shortages are allowed and completely backlogged. Fuzzy stochastic environment means linguistic ‘impreciseness’ and statistical ‘uncertainty’ both appear simultaneously. Due to uncertain demand trend, imperfect production process, natural disaster etc...
