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.

An Economic Order Quantity Model for Items with Two Levels of Storage for a Linear Trend in Demand

A deterministic inventory model with two levels of storage (own warehouse and rented warehouse) is studied by considering a linear (positive) trend in demand. Firstly, the model is formulated and solved without allowing backlogging. Secondly, the model is reformulated and solved under the assumptions that shortages in inventory are allowed and backlogged. The results are illustrated with the help of numerical examples.     

A two warehouse inventory model for a deteriorating item with partially/fully backlogged shortage and fuzzy lead time

An optimization inventory policy for a deteriorating item with imprecise lead-time, partially/fully backlogged shortages and price dependent demand is developed under two-warehouse system. For display and storage, the retailer hires one warehouse of finite capacity at market place, treated as own warehouse (OW) and another warehouse of large capacity as it may be required at a distance place from the market, treated as rented warehouse (RW). Holding cost at RW decreases with the increase of distance from the market place. Units are transferred from RW to OW in bulk release pattern and sold from OW. Using the nearest interval approximation method the estimated fuzzy average profit function is defuzzified and transformed to multiple crisp objective functions which are solved by Global Criteria Method. The models are illustrated numerically. Sensitivity of the inventory costs on the location of RW has been depicted graphically. Also loss in profit due to deteriorations for both models have been presented.     

Credit financing in a two-warehouse environment for deteriorating items with price-sensitive demand and fully backlogged shortages

In the current global market, organizations use many promotional tools in order to increase their sales. One such tool is permissible delay in payments, i.e., the buyer does not have to pay for the goods purchased immediately rather can defer the payment for a prescribed period given by the supplier. This phenomenon motivates the retailer/buyer to order a large inventory lot so as to take full benefit of credit period. But the well decorated showroom (OW) with modern facilities has a limited storage capacity. Thus the retailer has to hire a rented warehouse to store the excess units. In this scenario, retailer usually adopts two types of dispatch policy: FIFO & LIFO, depending upon the situation, e.g., nature of items/deteriorating items, location of warehouse. Further in order to survive in the market, the retailer dynamically adjusts the prices of the goods to boost the demand and enhance the revenues.In the light of these facts, this paper develops an inventory model for deteriorating items with price-sensitive demand under permissible delay in payment in a two warehouse environment. Shortages are allowed and fully backlogged. The objective of this study is to find the optimal inventory and pricing policies so as to maximize the total average profit. Further, the different trade credit scenario has been exhibited with the help of a numerical example. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis has also been carried out to advocate the implication of FIFO and LIFO dispatch policy.     

Investigation of two-warehouse inventory problems in interval environment under inflation via particle swarm optimization

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a two-warehouse inventory problem has been investigated under inflation with different deterioration effects in two separate warehouses (rented warehouse, RW, and owned warehouse, OW). The objective of this investigation is to determine the lot-size of the cycle of the two-warehouse inventory system by minimizing the average cost of the system. Considering different inventory policies, the corresponding models have been formulated for linear trend in demand and interval valued cost parameters. In OW, shortages, if any, are allowed and partially backlogged with a variable rate dependent on the duration of the waiting time up to the arrival of the next lot. The corresponding optimization problems have been formulated as non-linear constrained optimization problems with interval parameters. These problems have been solved by an efficient soft computing method, viz. practical swarm optimization. To illustrate the model, a numerical example has been solved with different partially backlogging rates. Then to study the effect of changes of different system parameters on the optimal policy, sensitivity analyses have been carried out graphically by changing one parameter at a time and keeping the others at their original values. Finally, a fruitful conclusion has been reached regarding the selection of an appropriate inventory policy of the two-warehouse system.     

多扇图的Pebbling数和Graham猜想

图G的pebbling数f(G)是最小的整数n,使得不论n个pebble如何放置在G的顶点上,总可以通过一系列的pebbling移动把1个pebble移到任意一个顶点上,其中一个pebbling移动是从一个顶点处移走两个pebble而把其中的一个移到与其相邻的一个顶点上。Graham猜想对于任意的连通图G和H有f(G×H)f(G)f(H)。多扇图F_n1,n2,…,nm是指阶为n₁+n₂+…+n_m+1的联图P₁∨(P_n1∪P_n2∪…∪P_nm)。本文首先给出了多扇图的pebbling数,然后证明了多扇图F_n1,n2,…,nm具有2-pebbling性质,最后论述了对于一个多扇图和一个具有2-pebbling性质的图的乘积来说,Graham猜想是成立的。作为一个推论,当G和H都是多扇图时,Graham猜想成立。     

A two warehouse inventory model for deteriorating items with a linear trend in demand and shortages

In this paper, we develop a deterministic inventory model with two warehouses (one is the existing storage known as own warehouse (OW) and the other is hired on rental basis known as rented warehouse (RW). The model allows different levels of item deterioration in both warehouses. The demand rate is supposed to be a linear (increasing) function of time and the replenishment rate is infinite. The stock is transferred from RW to OW in continuous release pattern and the associated transportation cost is taken into account. Shortages in OW are allowed and excess demand is backlogged. For the general model, we give the equations for the optimal policy and cost function and we discuss some special cases. A numerical example is given to illustrate the solution procedure of the model. Finally, based on this example, we conduct a sensitivity analysis of the model.     

The existence of Schröder designs with equal-sized holes

A holey Schröder design of type h₁^n₁h₂^n₂ … h_k^n_k (HSD(h₁^n₁h₂^n₂ … h_k^n_k)) is equivalent to a frame idempotent Schröder quasigroup (FISQ(h₁^n₁h₂^n₂ … h_k^n_k)) of order n with n_i missing subquasigroups (holes) of order h_i, (1 i k), which are disjoint and spanning, that is, Σ_{1 i k} n_ih_i = n. In this paper, it is shown that an HSD(hⁿ) exists if and only if h²n(n − 1) 0 (mod 4) with expceptions (h, n) ε {{(1,5),(1,9),(2,4)}} and the possible exception of (h, n) = (6,4).     

On the complex zeros of Hμ(z), J(z), J(z) for real or complex order

Propositions about the nonexistence of complex zeros of the functions H_μ(z)=J_μ(z)+zJ^′_μ(z),J^′_μ(z),J^″_μ(z), where J^′_μ(z) and J^″_μ(z) are the first two derivatives of the Bessel functions J_μ(z), for μ in general complex are proved. Bounds for the purely imaginary zeros of the above functions assuming their existence are given. Thus for the range of values for which these bounds are violated there are no purely imaginary zeros of the above functions. Finally, some known results from previous work are generalized in the present paper.     

A two-echelon inventory model for a deteriorating item with stock-dependent demand,partial backlogging and capacity constraints

This study investigates a two-echelon supply chain model for deteriorating inventory in which the retailer’s warehouse has a limited capacity. The system includes one wholesaler and one retailer and aims to minimise the total cost. The demand rate in retailer is stock-dependent and in case of any shortages, the demand is partially backlogged. The warehouse capacity in the retailer (OW) is limited; therefore the retailer can rent a warehouse (RW) if needed with a higher cost compared to OW. The optimisation is done from both the wholesaler’s and retailer’s perspectives simultaneously. In order to solve the problem a genetic algorithm is devised. After developing a heuristic a numerical example together with sensitivity analysis are presented. Finally, some recommendations for future research are presented.
