Generalized EOQ formula using a new parameter: Coefficient of backorder attractiveness
نویسنده
چکیده
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 attractiveness of backorders. The coefficient is explained and discussed. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of generalizations in EOQ models, including EPQ. & 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Fuzzy Economic Order Quantity Model with Partial Backorder
In this paper, fuzzy economic order quantity (EOQ) model for inventory system with partial backorder is proposed. The fuzzy total relevance cost of the model is calculated under function principle. The optimal EOQ is derived using median rule. Fuzzy variables are appropriate when the exact information is unavailable. In the proposed model, the optimal solution for the fuzzy EOQ model is higher ...
متن کاملEOQ and EPQ with linear and fixed backorder costs: Two cases identified and models analyzed without calculus
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.
متن کاملApproximating the EOQ with partial backordering at an exponential or rational rate by a constant or linearly changing rate
A significant extension of the classic EOQ model is the assumption that realized demand decreases if customers are forced to backorder. To capture the way this decrease depends on the waiting time, different functional forms have been proposed, ranging from the simple (e.g., constant or linear forms) to the complex (e.g., exponential or rational forms.) This paper explores the question of wheth...
متن کاملA New Mathematical Model in Cell Formation Problem with Consideration of Inventory and Backorder: Genetic and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms
Cell Formation (CF) is the initial step in the configuration of cell assembling frameworks. This paper proposes a new mathematical model for the CF problem considering aspects of production planning, namely inventory, backorder, and subcontracting. In this paper, for the first time, backorder is considered in cell formation problem. The main objective is to minimize the total fixed and variable...
متن کاملEOQ and in#ation uncertainty
In#ation uncertainty is introduced into a basic EOQ model and its potential to make mischief is explored. Among other things, it is shown that even when the expected rate of in#ation is less than the marginal cost of capital, the appropriate discount rate to use in computing a discounted expected total inventory cost will not necessarily be negative. Therefore, the classic EOQ square-root formu...
