This paper investigates a production inventory model under classical EPQ framework with the assumption that the customer demand during the stock out period is affected by the accumulated back-orders. The backlog rate is not fixed; instead, the demand rate during stock-out is assumed to decrease proportionally to the existing backlog which is thereby approximated by a piecewise constant function. Deteriorating items are taken into consideration in this proposed work. For better illustration of the theoretical results and to highlight managerial insights, numerical examples arepresentedwhicharethencomparedtotheresultsobtainedbyconsideringanexact (non-approximated) backlogging rate (from literature). The comparisons indicate high quality results for the approximated model.
