Most of production inventory systems is interested in determining the optimal stopping and restarting times of producing certain commodity. In this paper, a multi-item production inventory model under resource constraints is considered. For any product, each of the production, the demand, and the deterioration rates in any cycle as well as all cost parameters are treated as known and arbitrary ...

This paper develops a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) model for a two-level supply chain comprised of one vendor and several non-competing retailers in which both the raw material and the finished product have different deterioration rates. It is assumed that the market demand for the finished product is deterministic and price sensitive. The proposed inventory model optimizes the retail price, ...

Manna and Chaudhuri (Eur. J. Oper. Res. 171(2):557–566, 2006) presented a production-inventory system for deteriorating items with demand rate being a linearly ramp type function of time and production rate being proportional to the demand rate. The two models without shortages and with shortages were discussed. Both models were studied assuming that the time point at which the demand is stabil...

This study introduces an inventory system with a non-instantaneous deteriorating product credit facility and variable demand depending on the selling price. Two different prices are considered in deterioration non-deterioration periods. Shortages partially backlogged dependent length of customers’ waiting time upto arrival fresh lot. Alternative trade-credit policy is applied herein, several ca...

a r t i c l e i n f o This paper develops an economic manufacturing quantity (EMQ) model with deterioration and exponential demand in a production system over a finite time horizon under the effect of inflation and time value of money. The production rate is a dynamic variable (varying with time) in a production system. Due to a long run process, the machinery system is converted from in-contro...

The deterioration rate is a significant aspect of perishable goods. Since items will always deteriorate, there are effective methods for reducing the deterioration. Furthermore, in existing inventory control literature, often viewed as an exogenous component. Keeping this problem mind, article develops system from retailer’s perspective which: (i) controllable factor and suggests new fresh qual...
