This study considers a quantity discount problem between a single seller (poultry famer) and two buyers (retailers). The poultry farmer’s inventory level increases due to the increase in the weight of the fowls. The retailers purchase fresh chicken meat from the poultry farmer, the inventory levels of the retailers are therefore depleted due to the combined effects of its demand and deteriorati...

In this paper, we introducea deterministic Economic Order Quantity Inventory Modelwith exponential demand rate, Weibull Distribution for deterioration and time dependent holding cost in crisp and fuzzy environment.Also each cycle Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged to suit present day competition in the market objectives. The backlogging rate is variable and as depends on the length ...

This paper deals with an economic production quantity (EPQ)model for deteriorating items with price and advertisement dependent demand. We have considered three types of continuous probabilistic deterioration functions to determine the total inventory cost. Here, the rate of replenishment is considered to be a variable and the generalized unit production cost function is formulated by incorpora...

Abstract: This paper presents a new multiple objectives model for the optimal production for an inventory control system. The stocked items may be deteriorates and the systems costs will be change over the time. In the real situation, some but not all customers will wait for backlogged items during a shortage period and therefore, the model incorporates partial backlogging. The demand rate can ...

An inventory system for deteriorating items, with ramp-type demand rate, under two-level trade credit policy taking account of preservation technology is considered. The objective of this study is to develop a deteriorating inventory policy when the supplier provides to the retailer a permissible delay in payments, and during this credit period, the retailer accumulates the revenue and earns in...

In this study, the effect of a temporary price discount for a larger order than the regular order offered by the supplier on the retailer’s ordering policy is studied. The demand is assumed to be stock-dependent. The units in inventory deteriorate at a constant rate. This study will help the retailer to take the decision whether to adopt a regular or special order policy. The optimum special qu...

In this paper we develop and analyse an inventory model for deteriorating items with mixture of Weibull rate of decay and demand as function of both selling price and time without shortages. Using the differential equations, the instantaneous state of inventory at time„t‟, the amount of deterioration etc. are derived. With suitable cost considerations the total cost function and profit rate fun...

 The paper considers an integrated production, inspection, preventive maintenance, and inventory problem and determines the optimal inspection interval, inspection frequency, and production quantity yielding the maximum unit expected profit in an imperfect production process with inspection time and reworking. When the process in an out-of-control state produces a certain percentage of non-con...

todays, improving the competitiveness of companies and rapidly responding to diverse customers’ demands requires efficient management of the supply chain. integration is one of the effective indices in a supply chain, and vendor managed inventory (vmi) is one of the innovative approaches in this field. in this paper, an integrated model based on a vmi system for deteriorating and ameliorating i...

Production, maintenance, and quality are often modeled as separate problems, despite the strong link that exists between these primary components of any manufacturing system. This paper deals with an integrated approach for the joint optimization of production-inventory control and preventive maintenance policy for a manufacturing cell comprising an imperfect process where the ‘in-control’ peri...
