In this paper, some multi-item imperfect production-inventory models without shortages for defective and deteriorating items with uncertain/ imprecise holding and production costs and resource constraint have been formulated and solved for optimal production. Here, the rate of production is assumed to be a function of time and considered as a control variable. Also the demand is time dependent ...

This paper discusses multiproduct aggregate production planning (APP) decision making problems in fuzzy random environments. To maximize the chance of obtaining the profit more than the predetermined profit over the whole planning horizon, a fuzzy random APP model is established, in which the market demand, production cost, subcontracting cost, inventory carrying cost, backorder cost, product c...

 Normally, the real-world inventory control problems are imprecisely defined and human interventions are often required to solve these decision-making problems. In this paper, a realistic inventory model with imprecise inventory costs have been formulated for deteriorating items under trade credit policy within the economic production quantity (EPQ) framework. We assume that the supplier would...

This paper presented an application of Fuzzy mathematical programming model to solve network design problems for supply chains via considering aggregate production planning (APP). APP goals to minimize all costs through optimal levels of production, subcontracting, inventory, backorder and work levels over a time period to meet the demand. Fuzzy logic was applied to solve the uncertain producti...

This paper presents an optimal control recycling production inventory system in fuzzy environment. The used items are bought back and then either put on recycling or disposal. Recycled products can be used for the new products which are sold again. Here, the rate of production, recycling and disposal are assumed to be function of time and considered as control variables. The demand inversely de...

this paper considers the fuzzy inventory model for deteriorating items for power demand under fully backlogged conditions. we define various factors which are affecting the inventory cost by using the shortage costs. an intention of this paper is to study the inventory modelling through fuzzy environment. inventory parameters, such as holding cost, shortage cost, purchasing cost and deteriorati...

This paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy control application to support a vendor managed inventory (VMI). The methodology applies fuzzy control to generate an adaptive smoothing constant in the forecast method, production and delivery plan to eliminate, for example, the rationing and gaming or the Houlihan effect and the order batching effect or the Burbidge effects and finally the Bullwhip effect...

The inventory problem associated with trade credit is a popular topic in which interest income and interest payments are important issues. Most studies related to trade credit assume that the interest rate is both fixed and predetermined. However, in the real market, many factors such as financial policy, monetary policy and inflation, may affect the interest rate. Moreover, within the environm...
