The inventory routing problem presented in this study is a one-to-many distribution network consisting of a manufacturer that produces multi products to be transported to many geographically dispersed customers. We consider a finite horizon where a fleet of capacitated homogeneous vehicles, housed at a depot/warehouse, transports products from the warehouse to meet the demand specified by the c...

evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. in this paper, potentials of the evolving linear models (elms) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. at first, an elm is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (siso) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...

Inventory models in which the demand rate dependents on the stock- dependent are based on the common real- life observation that greater product availability tends to stimulate more sales. In this study we develop an inventory model to determine an optimal ordering policy for quantity dependent demand rate and time dependent holding cost items with delay in payments permitted by the supplier un...

In this paper the authors consider the continuous deterministic, infinite horizon, single item inventory system within the setting of a retailer sector in which the demand rate for an item is time dependent. The parameter of the replenishment cost is kept constant, but the carrying cost per unit is allowed to vary. The optimal policies are found, and decision rules and classical EOQ model have ...

in this article, a finite horizon, multi product and multi period economic order quantity like seasonal items is considered where demand rate is deterministic and known but variable in each period. the order quantities of items come in batch sizes and the end of the period order quantity and, consequently, demand of customers are zero. in addition, storage space is constrained and the problem ...

We analyse the cost performance of LAN interconnection over ATM using switched VC. Frame loss due to buuer overrow during connection setup has been taken into consideration in the proposed cost function. We investigate the eeect of the length of the holding time of an idle VC on the total cost per frame transmitted. Our simulation results suggest that there is no optimum holding time for minimi...

This paper proposes the optimal policies for a fuzzy inventory model considering holding cost and ordering as continuous functions of time. Shortages are allowed partially backlogged. The demand rate is assumed in such to be linearly dependent on time during on-hand inventory, while shortage period, it remains constant. problem formulated crisp environment. Considering rate, trapezoidal numbers...
