An order level inventory model for seasonable/fashionable products subject to a period of increasing demand followed by a period of level demand and then by a period of decreasing demand rate (three branches ramp type demand rate) is considered. The unsatisfied demand is partially backlogged with a time dependent backlogging rate. In addition, the product deteriorates with a time dependent, namely, Weibull, deterioration rate. The model is studied under the following different replenishment policies: (a) starting with no shortages and (b) starting with shortages. The optimal replenishment policy for the model is derived for both the above mentioned policies.

In this paper, an inventory model with general ramp-type demand rate, partial backlogging of unsatisfied demand and time-varying holding cost is considered; where the ?Time-varying holding cost? means that the holding cost is a function of time, i.e. it is time dependent. The model is studied under the following different replenishment policies: (1) starting with no shortages (2) starting with shortages. Two component demand rate has been used. The backlogging rate is any non-increasing function of the waiting time up to the next replenishment. The optimal replenishment policy is derived for both the above mentioned policies.

This paper deals with the effects of inflation and time discounting on an inventory model with general ramp type demand rate, time dependent (Weibull) deterioration rate and partial backlogging of unsatisfied demand. The model is studied under the replenishment policy, starting with shortages under two different types of backlogging rates, and their comparative study is also provided. We then use the computer software, MATLto find the optimal replenishment policies. Duration of positive inventory level is taken as the decision variable to minimize the total cost of the proposed system. Numerical examples are then taken to illustrate the solution procedure. Finally, sensitivity of the optimal solution to changes of the values of different system parameters is also studied.

In this paper, a two warehouse inventory model for deteriorating items is studied with ramp type demand rate. Holding cost of rented warehouse has higher than the owned warehouse due to better preservation facilities in rented warehouse. Due to the improved services offer in rented warehouse, the deterioration rate in rented warehouse is less than deterioration rate in owned warehouse. When stock on hand is zero, the inventory manager offers a price discount to customers who are willing to backorder their demand. The study includes some features that are likely to be associated with certain types of inventory, like inventory of seasonal fruits and vegetables, newly launched fashion items, etc. The optimum ordering policy and the optimum discount offered for each backorder are determined by minimizing the total cost in a replenishment interval.
