This paper addresses production-inventory problem for the manufacturer by explicitly taking into account multistage and varying demand. A nonlinear hybrid integer constrained optimization is modeled to minimize the total cost including setup cost and holding cost in the planning horizon. A genetic algorithm is developed for the problem. A series of computational experiments with different sizes...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper presents a mathematical framework to derive an inventory model for time, reliability, and advertisement dependent demand. This considers the demand rate is high initially, then reduces later stage, which reflects situation related cash in hand. The uncertain deterioration of product through Uniform, Triangular, Double Triangular probability distribu...

An inventory model for deteriorating items with stock and price dependent demand is developed. Holding cost is considered as function of time. Shortages are not allowed. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the model and sensitivity analysis is also carried out for parameters.

This paper develops a fuzzy inventory model for variable deteriorating items with time dependent two parameter Weibull demand rate. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. Each cycle has shortages, which have been partially backlogged to suit present day competition in the market. This inventory system follows a time varying holding cost. Here, the retailer is allowed a trade credit off...

99 Abstract— In this proposed research, we developed a deterministic inventory model for price dependent demand with time varying holding cost and trade credit under deteriorating environment, supplier offers a credit limit to the customer during whom there is no interest charged, but upon the expiry of the prescribed time limit, the supplier will charge some interest. However, the customer has...

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. ...

In this paper we study how to design a scheduling strategy aimed at minimizing the average holding cost for flows with general size distribution when the feasible transmission rate of each user varies randomly over time. We employ a Whittle-index-based approach in order to achieve an opportunistic and nonanticipating size-aware scheduling index rule proposal. When the flow size distribution bel...

In this paper a deterministic inventory model with imperfect quality have been developed for deteriorating items with two parameters Weibull distribution deterioration and time dependent holding cost. Shortages are allowed and are completely backlogged. The model has been framed to study the items whose deterioration rate increase with time under permissible delay in payments with imperfect qua...
