A two warehouse production inventory model for deteriorating items is explored in an inflation induced demand and partial backlogging under the effect of learning on set-up cost. Holding cost is treated as a linear function of time and production rate is taken as a linear combination of demand and on-hand inventory. A finite planning horizon inventory problem having two separate warehouses, one...

We study a continuous review inventory model over a nite-planning horizon with deterministic varying demand and constant deterioration rate. The model allows for shortages, which are partially backlogged at a rate which varies exponentially with time. For this model an optimal replenishment policy is established. c © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we have strived to combine all the above mentioned factors into a single problem. We shall undertake to explore a two echelon supply chain, comprising of a vendor and a buyer. The whole environment of business dealings has been assumed to be progressive credit period, which conforms to the practical market situation. The whole combination is very unique and very much practical. T...

This model presents the invention scheduling difficulty in industry with different operational constraints, as well as strategic plan of the business, revenue purpose, and limit on finishing. In this article, we have studied an inventory model for deteriorating items with shortages under partially backlogging. The aim of present study is to minimize the total cost function in fuzzy environment....

Problem definition: We study the sales planning problem of a producer who sells new and remanufactured versions durable good over finite life cycle. investigate whether slowing down product diffusion by choosing to partially satisfy demand might be profitable for producer. Academic/practical relevance: provide insights into management in closed-loop supply chains uncovering role key market char...

This paper investigates the impacts inventory shortage policies have on transportation costs in base-stock distribution systems under uncertain demand. The model proposed demonstrates how backlogging arrangements can serve to decrease the variability of transportation capacity requirements, and hence the magnitude of transportation costs, when compared with policies that expedite demand shortag...

This paper considers a dynamic lot size problem faced by a producer who supplies a single product to multiple customers. Characterized by their backorder costs as well as shipping costs, the customer with a high backorder cost is the one whose need for the product is more critical than the need of a customer with a low backorder cost. We show that the general problem with time-varying, customer...

As a traditional model in the operations research and management science domain, deterministic lot-sizing problem is embedded in many application problems such as production and inventory planning and has been consistently drawing attentions from researchers. In this paper we consider basic versions of lot-sizing models in which problem parameters are stochastic and develop corresponding scenar...
