Multi-item inventory model for deteriorating items with stock dependent demand under two-warehouse system is developed in fuzzy environment (purchase cost, investment amount and storehouse capacity are imprecise ) under inflation and time value of money. For display and storage, the retailers hire one warehouse of finite capacity at market place, treated as their own warehouse (OW), and another warehouse of imprecise capacity which may be required at some place distant from the market, treated as a rented warehouse (RW). Joint replenishment and simultaneous transfer of items from one warehouse to another is proposed using basic period (BP) policy. As some parameters are fuzzy in nature, objective (average profit) functions as well as some constraints are imprecise in nature, too. The model is formulated so to optimize the possibility/necessity measure of the fuzzy goal of the objective functions, and the constraints satisfy some pre-defined necessity. A genetic algorithm (GA) is used to solve the model, which is illustrated on a numerical example.

Abstract: In this paper, we formulate a deteriorating inventory model with stock-dependent demand Moreover, it is assumed that the shortages are allowed and partially backlogged, depending on the length of the waiting time for the next replenishment. The objective is to find the optimal replenishment to maximizing the total profit per unit time. We then provide a simple algorithm to find the optimal replenishment schedule for the proposed model. Finally, we use some numerical examples to illustrate the model. Keywords- Inventory, Deteriorating items, Stock dependent demand, Partial backlogging
