For generality, we observed that some of the optimization methods lack the mathematical rigor and some of them are based on intuitive arguments which result in the solution procedures being questionable from logical viewpoints of a mathematical analysis such as those in the work by Ouyang et al. (2009). They consider an economic order quantity model for deteriorating items with partially permissible delays in payments linked to order quantity. Basically, their inventory models are interesting, however, they ignore explorations of interrelations of functional behaviors (continuity, monotonicity properties, differentiability, et cetera) of the total cost function to locate the optimal solution, so those shortcomings will naturally influence the implementation of their considered inventory model. Consequently, the main purpose of this paper is to provide accurate and reliable mathematical analytic solution procedures for different scenarios that overcome the shortcomings of Ouyang et al.

This paper develops a generalized inventory model for exponentially deteriorating items with current-stock-dependent demand rate and permissible delay in payments. In the model, the payment for the item must be made immediately if the order quantity is less than the predetermined quantity; otherwise, a fixed trade credit period is permitted. The maximization of the average profit per unit of time is taken as the inventory system’s objective. The necessary and sufficient conditions and some properties of the optimal solution to the model are developed. Simple solution procedures are proposed to efficiently determine the optimal ordering policies of the considered problem. Numerical example is also presented to illustrate the solution procedures obtained.

This chapter develops an economic order quantity model for deteriorating items with initial inspection, allowable shortage under the condition of permissible delay in payment by fuzzify the demand rate, deterioration rate and inspection parameter of non-defective parameter based on as triangular fuzzy numbers to fit the real word. The total fuzzy cost function has been defuzzified using signed distance and centroid method. Comparison between these two methods has also been discussed. The validity of the model has been established with the help of a hypothetical numerical example.

The purpose of the current paper is to determine an optimal order quantity so as to minimize the total cost of the inventory system of a business enterprise. The model is developed for deteriorating items with stock and selling price dependent demand under inflation without permitting shortage. Optimal solution is achieved by cost minimization strategy considering replenishment cost, purchase cost, holding cost and deterioration cost with a special approach to entropy cost for bulk size purchasing units. The effectiveness of the proposed model has been avowed through empirical investigation. Sensitivity analysis has been accomplished to deduce managerial insights. Findings suggest that an increased inflationary effect results in increment in the system total cost. The paper can be extended by allowing shortage. The model can be utilized in the business firms dealing with bulk purchasing units of electric equipments, semiconductor devices, photographic films and many more.

This paper investigates the possible effects of a temporary price discount offered by a supplier on a retailer's replenishment policy for deteriorating items, whereby the price discount rate depends on the order quantity. The purpose of this study is to develop a decision process for retailers to assist in determining whether to adopt a regular or special order policy. Furthermore, the optimal quantity of a special order policy for a selected case is determined by maximizing the total cost saving between special and regular orders for the duration of the depletion time. This research establishes an algorithm to determine the optimal solution and utilizes several numerical examples to illustrate the theoretical results and subsequently conducts a sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution with respect to the main parameters. Finally, the results reveal that (1) the optimal special order quantity is determined by trading off the benefits of the price discount against the additional holding cost, (2) the retailer benefits in terms of total cost saving if the remnant inventory is as low as possible when adopting a special order policy, (3) for the retailer it is preferable to adopt the special order policy if the unit purchase cost, market demand rate and/or ordering cost increase, and (4) the retailer will order a lower quantity and the total cost saving will decrease when either the holding cost rate or deterioration rate is high. Thus, this study provides the basis for enterprises to make inventory decisions.

This paper deals with the problem of determining the optimal selling price and order quantity simultaneously under EOQ model for deteriorating items. It is assumed that the demand rate depends not only on the on-display stock level but also the selling price per unit, as well as the amount of shelf/display space is limited. We formulate two types of mathematical models to manifest the extended EOQ models for maximizing profits and derive the algorithms to find the optimal solution. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the models developed and sensitivity analysis is reported.

This paper developed an EOQ model, in which the demand follows a general distribution, under the assumption that lead time can be shortened and setup cost can be reduced by added investment, and backorder rate depends on inventory level and price discount in the period of shortage. We proved the existence and uniqueness of optimal solution and proposed an algorithm searching for it. We find that order quantity, safety stock and inventory total cost can be normally reduced by shortening lead time and reducing setup cost, furthermore, backordering parameter and probability of shortage have a great impact on inventory total cost, so an enterprise should do its best to reduce probability of shortage, especially when backordering parameter is small.

Purpose Carbon emission is a significant issue for the current business market and global warming. Nowadays, most countries have focused to reduce the environmental impact of business with durable financial benefits. The purpose of this study is to optimize the entire cost functions with carbon emission and to find the sustainable optimal ordering quantity for retailers. Design/methodology/approach This paper illustrates a sustainable inventory model having a set of two non-instantaneous substitutable deteriorating items under joint replenishment with carbon emission. In this model demand and deterioration rate are considered as deterministic, constant and triangular fuzzy numbers. The objective is to find the optimal ordering quantity for retailers and to minimize the total cost function per unit time with carbon emission. The model is then solved with the help of Maple software. Findings This paper presents a solution method and also develop an algorithm to determine the order quantities which optimize the total cost function. A numerical experiment illustrates the improvement in optimal total cost of the inventory model with substitution over without substitution. The graphical results show the convexity of the cost function. Finally, sensitivity analysis is given to get the impact of parameters and validity of the model. Originality/value This study considers a set of two non-instantaneous substitutable deteriorating items under joint replenishment with carbon emission. From the literature review, in the authors’ knowledge no researcher has undergone this kind of study.
