EOQ and EPQ with linear and fixed backorder costs: Two cases identified and models analyzed without calculus
نویسنده
چکیده
The EOQ and EPQ models with linear and fixed backorder costs are newly analyzed and all formulae are proven using only algebra. Two cases are identified, where backorders should and should not be allowed. The results are shown to include several known special cases. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Generalized EOQ formula using a new parameter: Coefficient of backorder attractiveness
This paper introduces and examines a generalized EOQ formula, based on the model with linear and fixed backordering costs. The new square-root formula is a combination of two well-known classical models, the basic EOQ model without stockouts and the EOQ model with backorders and linear backordering costs. Helping to combine the two is a new parameter, a fractional coefficient capturing the attr...
متن کاملThe derivation of EOQ/EPQ inventory models with two backorders costs using analytic geometry and algebra
The EOQ model will have a century of its discovery in two years, and recently still, many researchers have been using alternative approaches to model and solve inventory systems. The EOQ/EPQ models have been developed using different optimization methods. However, in many of the works that deal with the EOQ/EPQ with backorders only linear backorders cost is considered. This paper proposes anoth...
متن کاملEPQ model with scrap and backordering under Vendor managed inventory policy
This paper presents the economic production quantity (EPQ) models for the imperfect quality items produced with/without the presence of shortage condition. The models are presented in a two-level supply chain composed of a single manufacturer and a single buyer to investigate the performance of vendormanaged inventory (VMI) policy. The total costs are minimized to obtain the optimal production ...
متن کاملAn easy method to derive EOQ and EPQ inventory models with backorders
Cárdenas-Barrón (2010) applied algebraic methods to EOQ and EPQ models without referring to differential equations, allowing researchers without backgrounds in calculus to understand inventory models with ease. In this note, we point out that the derivation for EPQ model can be obtained by a transformation of the EOQ model and then we provide a further simplification of his approach such that f...
متن کاملUsing simple methods to derive EOQ and EPQ models with shortage and imperfect quality
Huang [ Journal of Statistics and Management Systems, Vol. 6 (2003), No. 2, pp. 171-180 ] studied the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) and EPQ (Economic Production Quantity) models with backlogging and defective items using the algebraic approach. He assumed 100% inspection policy and the known proportion of defective items was removed prior to storage or use after the screening process. In this p...
