The design of a supply chain has been considered by many practitioners and researchers recently. One model that is used to optimize distribution from a single facility (depot) to a set of retailers over a given planning horizon and considering stock management decisions is known as Inventory Routing Problem (IRP). This model tries to optimize the trade-off between inventory and transportation c...

In this study, a deteriorating inventory problemwith andwithout backorders is developed. From the literature search, this study is one of the first attempts by researchers to solve a deteriorating inventory problem with a simplified approach. The optimal solutions are compared with the classical methods for solving deteriorating inventory model. The total cost of the simplified model is almost ...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper to develop an inventory model for instantaneous deteriorating items with the consideration of the facts that the deterioration rate can be controlled by using the preservation technology (PT) and the holding cost & demand rate both are linear function of time which was treated as constant in most of the deteriorating inventory model. Design/methodology/approac...

The study of agricultural product's inventory is significant to lower its logistics cost, reduce the waste during the logistics courses and guarantee its quality. Deteriorating items can be studied by the way of literature review according to time varying of demand, inventory shortage and deteriorating rate while multi-warehouse according to the number of renting warehouse, capacity and demand ...

in this paper, a production inventory model is developed for the business enterprise which consists of three wings. the first wing is for manufacturing new items, the second wing is for collecting the returned items, while third wing is for remanufacturing the returned item. in this model we consider the fact that the storage item is deteriorated during storage periods and salvage value is inco...

While the development and application of inventory control models of deterioration products is one of the main concerns of researchers and practitioners, most studies done in this field have focused on inventory models under fixed supply lead time assumption. In this paper, at first we study researches done in inventory control of deteriorating items and classify them based on modeling approach...
