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.

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.

This paper studies an inventory model for Weibull-distributed deterioration items with trapezoidal type demand rate, in which shortages are allowed and partially backlogging depends on the waiting time for the next replenishment. The inventory models starting with no shortage is are to be discussed, and an optimal inventory replenishment policy of the model is proposed. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results, and a sensitivity analysis of the major parameters with respect to the optimal solution is also carried out.

An inventory system for deteriorating products, with ramp-type demand rate, under two-level trade credit policy is considered. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. Sufficient conditions of the existence and uniqueness of the optimal replenishment policy are provided, and an algorithm, for its determination, is proposed. Numerical examples highlight the obtained results, and sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution with respect to major parameters of the system is carried out.

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.
