Ford Whitman Harris first presented the familiar economic order quantity (EOQ) model in a paper published in 1913. Even though Harris's original paper was disseminated widely, it apparently was unnoticed for many years before its rediscovery in 1988. During this period much confusion developed over the origin of the EOQ model. This paper explores the early literature on this model and traces th...

In this paper, an EOQ inventory model is depleted not only by time varying demand but also by Weibull distribution deterioration, in which the inventory is permitted to start with shortages and end without shortages. A theory is developed to obtain the optimal solution of the problem; it is then illustrated with the aid of several numerical examples. Moreover, we also assume that the holding co...

a r t i c l e i n f o This paper expands an inventory model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent demand. This model provides time varying backlogging rate as well as time varying deterioration rate. The aim of this model is to determine the optimal cycle length of each product such that the expected total cost (holding, shortage, ordering, deterioration and opportunity cost) is minimize...

A new type of replenishment policy is suggested in an entropy order quantity model for a perishable product possessing fuzzy holding cost and fuzzy disposal cost. This model represents an appropriate combination of two component demand with discounted selling price, particularly over a finite time horizon. Its main aim lies in the need for an entropic cost of the cycle time is a key feature of ...

This paper deals with the problem of determining the optimal selling price and order quantity simultaneously under EOQ model for deteriorating items. It is assumed that the demand rate depends not only on the on-display stock level but also the selling price per unit, as well as the amount of shelf/display space is limited. We formulate two types of mathematical models to manifest the extended ...

This paper is focused on the coordination of order and production policy between buyers and suppliers in supply chains. When a buyer and a supplier of an item work independently, the buyer will place orders based on his economic order quantity (EOQ). However, the buyer’s EOQ may not lead to an optimal policy for the supplier. It can be shown that a cooperative batching policy can reduce total c...

For several decades, the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model and its variations have received much attention from researchers. Recently, there has been an investigation into an EOQ model incorporating a random product life cycle and the concept of time-value of money. This paper extends the previous research in several areas. First, we investigate the impact of in ̄ation on the choice of repleni...

From our review on sustainable EOQ inventory models, most researchers did not include carbon emission in the objective function or constraint. In this study, we enrich recent research by incorporating sustainability criteria into model. The study develops an model considering that comes from transportation and warehouse operations. Moreover, also consider imperfect quality items assume complete...

In#ation uncertainty is introduced into a basic EOQ model and its potential to make mischief is explored. Among other things, it is shown that even when the expected rate of in#ation is less than the marginal cost of capital, the appropriate discount rate to use in computing a discounted expected total inventory cost will not necessarily be negative. Therefore, the classic EOQ square-root formu...
