This paper develops an inventory model for non deteriorating items with time dependent demand rate of production with constant inflation rate. In this model shortages are not allowed, the effect of inflation rate and delay in payments are discussed. In the study mathematical models are also derived under two different cases, i.e. Case-I the credit period is less than or equal to the cycle time ...

This study proposes a new multi-item inventory model with hybrid cost parameters under a fuzzy-stochastic constraint and permissible delay in payment. The price and marketing expenditure dependent stochastic demand and the demand dependent the unit production cost are considered. Shortages are allowed and partially backordered. The main objective of this paper is to determine selling price, mar...

This paper considers a two stages pharmaceutical supply chain (PSC) consisting of a pharmaceutical manufacturer (pharma-manufacturer) that supplies one type of pharmaceutical product to a pharma-retailer. The customer demand rate for the pharmaceutical product is dependent on the pharma-retailer’s current-inventory level. The pharma-retailer determines the order quantity ( ) value as decision v...

this paper presents an inventory model for deteriorating items in which shortages are allowed. it is assumed that the production rate is proportional to the demand rate and greater than demand rate. the inventory model is developed by considering four different circumstances. the optimal of the problem is obtained with the help of mathematica 7 software. numerical examples are given to illustra...

Seasonal items like fruits, fish, winter cosmetics, fashion apparel, etc. generally exhibits different demand patterns at various times during the season. Production and inventory planning must reflect this property for cost effectiveness and optimization of resources. This paper presents two production-inventory models for perishable seasonal products that minimize total inventory costs. The m...
