Purpose This paper aims to present a set of five models for the economic order quantity problem. Four models solve problems for a single product: incremental discounts with or without backorders and all-unit discounts with or without backorders, and the last model solves problems for the multiproduct case. Design/methodology/approach A basic integer non-linear model with binary variables is presented, and its flexible structure allows for all five models to be utilised with minor modifications for adaptation to individual situations. The multiproduct model takes into consideration the work of Chopra and Meindl (2012), who studied two types of product aggregations: full and adaptive. To find optimal or near-optimal solutions for the multiproduct case, the authors propose a simulated annealing metaheuristic application. Numerical examples are presented to improve the comprehension of each model, and the authors also present the efficiency of the simulated annealing algorithm through an example that aggregates 50 products, each one with different discount schemes and some allowing backorders. Findings Our model proved to be efficient at finding optimal or near optimal solutions even when confronted with mathematical complexities such as the allowance of backorders and incremental discounts. Originality/value Finally our model can process a mix of products with different discount schemes at the same time, and the simulated annealing metaheuristics could find optimal or near optimal solutions with very few iterations.

The processing of Sheet metal includes the number of process, which forms the finished product. Shearing is the preliminary process in the sheet metal processing industries. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop an approach to predict the optimal process parameters such as Squareness and length for the Shearing process on sheet metal. The Grey based Taguchi method is used to produce the optimal level of the selected controlled factors. The Grey relational grade is calculated and the statistical analysis of variance results the significant parameters. The obtained model is further processed with the simulated annealing algorithm to get the optimal process parameter values.

The present paper is an attempt to get total minimum of trigonometric Functions by Simulated Annealing. To do so the researchers ran Simulated Annealing. Sample trigonometric functions and showed the results through Matlab software. According the Simulated Annealing Solves the problem of getting stuck in a local Maxterm and one can always get the best result through the Algorithm.
