In this paper, production-inventory models for a deteriorating item in a single vendor-buyer system has been developed with constant production and demand rate. Shortages at the buyer (when it is allowed) depends on time. The models have been formulated as cost minimization problem via both integrated and non-integrated approaches and solved using genetic algorithms developed to solve the singl...

This article studies the problem of sales-force compensation by considering the impact of sales-force behavior on a firm’s production and inventory system. The sales force’s compensation package affects how the salespeople are going to exert their effort, which in turn determines the sales pattern for the firm’s product and ultimately drives the performance of the firm’s production and inventor...

In this paper, some multi-item imperfect production-inventory models without shortages for defective and deteriorating items with uncertain/ imprecise holding and production costs and resource constraint have been formulated and solved for optimal production. Here, the rate of production is assumed to be a function of time and considered as a control variable. Also the demand is time dependent ...

In his paper a deterministic two warehouse Electronic component inventory model for deteriorating items, timedependent demand, variable holding cost and vector evaluated genetic algorithm has been developed under assumption that the Electronic component inventory cost including time-dependent demand, holding cost, vector evaluated genetic algorithm and deterioration cost in Rented Warehouse is ...

and Applied Analysis 3 CS(D i , x i ): total costs including shortage costs and storage costs for item i P(D i , x i ): profit for item i. For the ith item, some assumptions are introduced as follows. (i) The time horizon is infinite. (ii) The production rate is instantaneous. (iii) The lead time is zero. (iv) There is no fixed ordering cost and there is no initial inventory. (v) The demandD i ...

In this paper, we conduct a simulation study to evaluate the impact of using imperfect advance demand information (ADI) in a single stage production/inventory system. We mean by ADI the fact that the production system receives customer orders in advance of their due-dates. We consider four types of ADI: 1) Perfect ADI, 2) ADI with imperfect due-dates, 3) ADI with imperfect demand quantities and...
