Abstract:

This paper studies the economic-order-quantity model (EOQ) for deteriorating items in two cases (with and without shortages) to evaluate how vendor managed inventory (VMI) affects supply chain. We consider two-level supply chain (single supplier and a single retailer) with one instantaneous deteriorating item. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are provided to illustrate the effect of related parameters on total cost and optimal order quantity of two systems. The results show that VMI works better and delivers lower cost in all conditions than traditional supply chain (the system before implementation of VMI).

An Inventory Model for Deteriorating Items Using Vendor-Managed Inventory Policy

In recent researches, vendor managed inventory (VMI) policy is rarely considered for deteriorating items.   This study considered the supply chain partner’s collaboration via a VMI system and provided an EOQ model for a two-level supply chain (single supplier - single retailer) to examine the inventory management proceedings for VMI and non-VMI supply chains. By a new approach in modeling, the ...

A Bi-objective Optimization for Vendor Managed Inventory Model

Vendor managed inventory is a continuous replenishment program that is designed to provide major cost saving benefits for both vendors and retailers. Previous research on this area mainly included single objective optimization models where the objective is to minimize the total supply chain costs or to maximize the total supply chain benefits. This paper presents a bi-objective mathematical mod...

Developing EPQ models for non-instantaneous deteriorating items

In this paper, the classical economic production quantity (EPQ) model is developed for non-instantaneous deteriorating items by considering a relationship between the holding cost and the ordering cycle length. Two models are developed. First, the proposed model is considered when backorders are not permitted and this condition is waived for the second case. The cost functions associated with t...

An EOQ model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with two levels of storage under trade credit policy

A deterministic inventory model with two levels of storage (own warehouse and rented warehouse) with non-instantaneous deteriorating items is studied. The supplier offers the retailer a trade credit period to settle the amount. Different scenarios based on the deterioration and the trade credit period have been considered. In this article, we have framed two models considering single warehouse ...

Integrating Transport into Supply Chains: Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)

Despite the importance of transport within the supply chain, it has traditionally been treated as a separate function within businesses. More recently there has been increased recognition that transport needs to be integrated into the supply chain. This chapter considers vendor managed inventory, and demonstrates how it can be used to improve both transport and supply chain performance. With VM...
