An EOQ Model for Deteriorating Items with Linear Time-dependent Demand Rate and Shortages under Inflation and Time Discounting

An economic order quantity (EOQ) inventory model for deteriorating goods is developed with a linear, positive trend in demand allowing inventory shortages and backlogging. The effects of inflation and the time-value of money are incorporated into the model, considering two separate inflation rates: namely, the internal (company) inflation rate and the external (general economy) inflation rate. It is assumed that the goods in the inventory deteriorate over time at a constant rate θ. The inventory policy is discussed over a finite time-horizon with several reorder points. The results are discussed with a numerical example and a sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution with respect to the parameters of the system is carried out. Several particular cases of the model are discussed in brief.

An EOQ Model for Deteriorating Items with Time Varying Demand and Costs

A generalized EOQ model for deteriorating items is considered here in which the demand rate, deterioration rate, holding cost and ordering cost are all assumed to be continuous functions of time. Shortages are also allowed and are completely backlogged. The planning horizon is finite and the replenishment periods are assumed to be constant. The optimal replenishment policy and the decision rule which minimizes the total system cost are derived. A numerical example is given to illustrate the developed model. Sensitivity analysis is also presented for the given model.

Optimal EOQ Models for Deteriorating Items with Time-Varying Demand

In this paper, optimal inventory lot-sizing models are developed for deteriorating items with general continuous time-varying demand over a finite planning horizon and under three replenishment policies. The deterioration rate is assumed to be a constant fraction of the on-hand inventory. Shortages are permitted and are completely backordered. The proposed solution procedures are shown to generate global minimum replenishment schedules for both general increasing and decreasing demand patterns. An extensive empirical comparison using randomly generated linear and exponential demands revealed that the replenishment policy which starts with shortages in every cycle is the least cost policy and the replenishment policy which prohibits shortages in the last cycle exhibited the best service level effectiveness. An optimal procedure for the same problem with trended inventory subject to a single constraint on the minimum service level (maximum fraction of time the inventory system is out of stock during the planning horizon) is also proposed in this paper.

On an Inventory Model for Deteriorating Items With Increasing Time-varying Demand and Shortages

In this paper we present an exact solution for the inventory replenishment problem with shortages, in which items are deteriorating at a constant rate. The demand rates are increasing with time over a known and finite planning horizon. We also present a dynamic programming solution to the problem. Both these methods provide a net improvement over existing methods.     

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 Note on a Replenishment Policy for an Inventory Model with Linear Trend in Demand and Shortages

The present paper deals with an alternative approach for finding the optimal number of replenishments and optimal replenishment times for a finite-horizon inventory problem with linearly increasing demand allowing shortages which are fully backlogged. The method is developed by assuming that successive replenishment cycle lengths are in arithmetic progression. The corresponding results in the absence of shortage are also derived and finally some numerical examples are presented and compared with the existing methods to test the accuracy and effectiveness of the method. A sensitivity analysis has also been presented to study the effect of changes in the system parameters on the optimal cost.
