An Inventory Model for Deteriorating Items with Stock Dependent Demand and Partial Backlogging

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

A Fuzzy Production Inventory Model for Deteriorating Items with Shortages

In this paper we have developed a supply chain production inventory model for deteriorating items with shortage under Fuzzy environment. The formulae for the optimal average system cost, stock level, backlog level and production cycle time are derived when the deterioration rate is very small. In reality it is seen that we cannot define all parameters precisely due to imprecision or uncertainty in the environment. So, we have defined the inventory parameter deterioration rate as triangular fuzzy numbers. The signed distance method and graded mean integration method have been used for defuzzification. Numerical examples are taken to illustrate the procedure of finding the optimal total inventory cost, stock level and backlog level. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to demonstrate the effects of changing parameter values on the optimal solution of the system.
