In this paper, a realistic replenishment model with multiple warehouses (one is primary warehouse (PW) from where the items are sold and others are secondary warehouses (SWs) where the items are stored) is developed with fuzzy lead-time under the assumption that the capacities of the warehouses are finite. Inflation and time value of money are taken into account. The items of secondary warehous...

Fair queueing provides minimum rate guarantees and is fair by being rate proportional, i.e, excess bandwidth due to non-backlogged connections is distributed in proportion to rate guarantees. State dependence of the scheduler is restricted to whether specific connections are backlogged or not. In this paper, we propose three alternate scheduling mechanisms that can provide better service, in te...

The problem of allocating network resources to application sessions backlogged at an individual switch has a great impact on the end-to-end delay and throughput guarantees offered by the network. There exists a class of algorithms based on Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ) for scheduling packets which are work-conserving and they guarantee fairness to the backlogged sessions. These algorithms also a...

Looking through the inventory models with deteriorating items shows that the deterioration rate is considered constant in most of the previous researches. But,in the real world, deterioration rate is not actually constant and slightly disturbed from its original crisp value. In this paper a more realistic inventory model with fuzzy deterioration and fully backlogged shortage under inflation is ...

We address a multi-item capacitated lot-sizing problem with setup times that arises in real-world production planning contexts. Demand cannot be backlogged, but can be totally or partially lost. Safety stock is an objective to reach rather than an industrial constraint to respect. The problem is NP-hard. We propose mixed integer programming heuristics based on a planning horizon decomposition s...

We address a multi-item capacitated lot-sizing problem with setup times and shortage costs that arises in real-world production planning problems. Demand cannot be backlogged, but can be totally or partially lost. The problem is NP-hard. A mixed integer mathematical formulation is presented. Our approach in this paper is to propose some classes of valid inequalities based on a generalization of...

This paper presents an inventory model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent selling rate under inflation and time value of money over a finite planning horizon. In the model, shortages are allowed and the unsatisfied demand is partially backlogged at the exponential rate with respect to the waiting time. We establish the theoretical results and provide an efficient solution procedure to...

In this paper a deterministic inventory model is developed deterioration rate is time proportional. Demand rate is a function of selling price. Deterioration rate, inventory holding cost and ordering cost are all of function of time. The planning horizon is infinite. The optimum replacement policy and decision rule, which minimizes the total cost, is developed. In this study an order level inve...
