this paper is a research on the ordering planning of a supply chain with one supplier, multi buyer and multi deteriorating items. items have fixed life time and expire dates. the ordering period is taken as variable and must be computed the proposed models. the problem is studied via two different approaches the first is the joint replenishment, based on the hwang and chew's model [3] and ...

Joint managed inventory is an advanced supply chain inventory management tool, which will effectively tackle the complicated problem between the inventory cost of supply chain and service level. The research on inventory model and its’ control under JMI environment is a hot issue at present. In this paper, the authors deeply discuss the question of the inventory time costs about the multi-produ...

Given the order cycles of items in joint replenishment, no closed-form formula or efficient method is known to compute the exact inventory cost. Previous studies avoid the difficulty by restricting the replenishment policy to the cases where the order cycle of each item is a multiple of the cycle of the most frequently ordered item. This simplifies the computation but may entail sub-optimality ...

This paper presents a hybrid Decision Support System (DSS) for slow moving spare parts joint replenishment in a nuclear power plant. In this study, we integrate the fuzzy and grey theory-based spare parts criticality class evaluation model to confirm the target service level, and the web-based joint replenishment DSS to obtain reasonable purchase parameters that can be helpful for reducing tota...

A joint replenishment problem is presented to determine the ordering policy for multiple items having a certain percentage of defective units. The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of the percentage of defective units on the ordering policy. Two different scenarios are presented for joint replenishment problem: (1) without price discount and (2) with price discount. For each scenario...

There are many resource restrictions in real production/inventory systems (for example, budget, storage, transportation capacity, etc.). But unlike other research areas, there is very little research to handle the joint replenishment problem (JRP) with resource restriction. The purpose of this paper is to develop two efficient algorithms for solving these problems. Firstly, we modify the existi...

We consider the one-warehouse multiple retailer inventory model with a submodular joint setup cost function. The objective of this model is to determine an inventory replenishment policy that minimizes the long-run average system cost over an infinite time horizon. Although the optimal policy for this problem is still unknown, a class of easy-to-implement power-of-two policies are 98% effective...
