一个带有增加量价格折扣的两货栈库存模型

已有的确定性两货栈(其中一个是自己货栈(OW);另一个是租用货栈(RW))库存模型通常不考虑增加量价格折扣,然而在实际生活中,增加量价格折扣却是促使库存管理者加大订货量的一个重要原因.本文通过考虑增加量价格折扣而将两货栈系统作了进一步扩展,在采用间隔式运输模式运送RW的物品到OW的情形下,建立了一个带有增加量价格折扣并允许短缺的两货栈库存模型,提供了一种寻求最优库存策略的简单方法.     

两货栈及延期支付和现金折扣情形下变质产品的最优订货策略

已有的两货栈库存模型通常不考虑将延期支付和现金折扣相结合的情形,但实际上,供应商在给予销售商延期支付政策的同时,也会实施现金折扣策略以激励销售商尽快付款,加快资金周转,减少坏账损失。为此,本文建立了延期支付和现金折扣情形下变质产品的两货栈库存模型,并对模型的最优解进行理论分析,给出了最优解的求解步骤。最后通过数值算例对模型的可行性进行了验证,并分析了模型参数变化对最优订货策略和最优付款时间的影响。

存货影响销售率的无形变质物品库存控制模型

为解决存储过程中价值易发生贬值的一类无形变质物品最优订货问题,建立了一种存货影响销售率的无形变质物品库存控制模型.针对零售商期初订货批量的不同水平,以库存总成本最小为优化目标,分别求得了无形变质物品库存总成本函数.鉴于这些函数中的主要部分属于超越函数,函数性质不易探明,最优解难以直接求得.为此,从严格的数学证明出发,深入探讨了函数最优解的存在性和惟一性,为进一步研究提供了理论基础.最后,通过数值算例,系统分析了模型参数对库存总成本、期初订货批量和库存更新周期的影响,并结合实际对其结果的合理性进行了解释说明.

考虑保质期的非即时易腐品最优订购与定价决策

针对有保质期约束的非即时易腐品,零售商可以在产品非腐败阶段和腐败阶段进行差异化定价来调整市场需求。即零售商可以调整产品非腐败阶段的定价策略,使得非即时易腐品在进入腐败阶段之前全部售出;或者在产品腐败阶段降低零售价格以刺激市场需求。因此,在需求依赖价格的假设下,本文研究了零售商关于有保质期约束的非即时易腐品的最优订购与定价决策。通过分析零售商单位时间利润函数的理论性质,得到了零售商的最优订购与定价策略。基于线性和指数型两种需求函数形式进行数值算例,可以发现针对保质期较长或者非腐败阶段较长的易腐品,零售商会延长订货周期来增加销售收入。特别是在指数型需求函数情境下,当市场需求与零售价格高度相关时,零售商更有意愿降价来刺激销量,从而使得易腐品在非腐败阶段内销售完毕。     

Retailer’s optimal ordering policy for deteriorating items with maximum lifetime under supplier’s trade credit financing

Many products such as fruits, vegetables, pharmaceuticals, volatile liquids, and others not only deteriorate continuously due to evaporation, obsolescence, spoilage, etc. but also have their expiration dates (i.e., a deteriorating item has its maximum lifetime). Although numerous researchers have studied economic order quantity (EOQ) models for deteriorating items, few of them have taken the maximum lifetime of a deteriorating item into consideration. In addition, a supplier frequently offers her/his retailers a permissible delay in payments in order to stimulate sales and reduce inventory. There is no interest charge to a retailer if the purchasing amount is paid to a supplier within the credit period, and vice versa. In this paper, we propose an EOQ model for a retailer when: (1) her/his product deteriorates continuously, and has a maximum lifetime, and (2) her/his supplier offers a permissible delay in payments. We then characterize the retailer’s optimal replenishment cycle time. Furthermore, we discuss a special case for non-deteriorating items. Finally, we run several numerical examples to illustrate the problem and provide some managerial insights.     

Determining optimal lot size for a two-warehouse system with deterioration and shortages using net present value

In this paper, we develop a deterministic inventory model for deteriorating items with two warehouses by minimizing the net present value of the total cost. Deterioration rates of items in the two warehouses may be different. In addition, we allow for shortages and complete backlogging. We then prove that the optimal replenishment policy not only exists but also is unique under some condition. Further, the result reveals that the reorder interval based on the average total cost, if it exists, must be longer than that derived using net present value. Finally, we use Yang’s [H.L. Yang, European Journal of Operational Research 157 (2004) 344–356] numerical example to illustrate the model and conclude the paper with suggestions for possible future research.     

一类最优EOQ模型的进一步扩展

Optimal production run time for a deteriorating production system under an extended inspection policy

A deteriorating production system is subjected to random deterioration from an in-control state to an out-of-control state with a general shift distribution. In order to reduce the defective items, part inspection policy, under which production inspections are performed only at the end of the production run, and full inspection policy are both considered in the literature. Moreover, the former dominates the latter. Since the product produced towards the end of a production cycle are more likely to be defective, it can further economize the inspection costs that they are directly reworked without inspection. In this paper, we propose an extended product inspection policy for a deteriorating production system. Product inspections are performed in the middle of a production cycle, and after the inspection, all products produced until the end of the production run are fully reworked. Based on the model, we show that there exists a production run time and a corresponding unique inspection policy such that the expected total cost per item per cycle is minimized. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate our extended inspection policy, and indicate that such product inspection model will reduce the quality-related cost than part inspection does.     

A note on the inventory models for deteriorating items with ramp type demand rate

In this research we study the inventory models for deteriorating items with ramp type demand rate. We first clearly point out some questionable results that appeared in (Mandal, B., Pal, A.K., 1998. Order level inventory system with ramp type demand rate for deteriorating items. Journal of Interdisciplinary Mathematics 1, 49–66 and Wu, K.S., Ouyang, L.Y., 2000. A replenishment policy for deteriorating items with ramp type demand rate (Short Communication). Proceedings of National Science Council ROC (A) 24, 279–286). And then resolve the similar problem by offering a rigorous and efficient method to derive the optimal solution. In addition, we also propose an extended inventory model with ramp type demand rate and its optimal feasible solution to amend the incompleteness in the previous work. Moreover, we also proposed a very good inventory replenishment policy for this kind of inventory model. We believe that our work will provide a solid foundation for the further study of this sort of important inventory models with ramp type demand rate.     

An Inventory Model for Deteriorating Items with?Two?Levels of Trade Credit Taking Account of Time Discounting

This paper presents an extended inventory model of Huang (J. Oper. Res. Soc. 54, 1011–1015, 2003), which investigated the retailer’s optimal inventory policy under two levels of trade credit. Herein, we consider the impact of a replenishment policy on the timing of the cash flows associated with payments to suppliers and revenue streams from customers. That is, the same cash amount will possess different money value at different future time. To see this, we adopt the more appropriate net present value (NPV) object instead of the average cost objective. In addition, the deteriorating effects will be incorporated in this inventory model, and the time to deterioration of each item follows an exponential distribution. The discounted cash flow (DCF) approach is used to derive the optimal solution in this study. Furthermore, we first show that the optimal solution not only exists bus also is unique. Then, we provide a theorem to locate the optimal ordering policy. Finally, a numerical example for illustration is provided.
