In this paper, we present an inventory model with stock-dependent demand and deteriorating inventory. It is assumed that the deterioration rate follows a three-parameter Weibull distribution. The strategy of offering discounts in the selling price to boost demand is studied. The optimal discount...

This paper considers a new scheduling model in which both two-agents and a time-dependent deterioration exist simultaneously. By the time-dependent deterioration, it means that the actual processing time of a job belonging to the two-agents is defined as a non-decreasing linear function of its...

In most multi-item inventory systems, the ordering costs consist of a major cost and a minor cost for each item included. Applying for every individual item a cyclic inventory policy, where the cycle length is a multiple of some basic cycle time, reduces the major ordering costs. An efficient...

In this paper we proposed an efficient algorithm to solve the joint replenishment problem to optimality. We perform a computational study to compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with the best one reported in Viswanathan [6]. The study reveals that for large minor set-up costs and...

We formulate a model for determining the optimal pricing, order quantity and replenishment period for perishable items with price-dependent and time-dependent demand. The items have a fixed shelf-life, and the demand rate decreases linearly in the selling price and polynomially over the time...

We develop a demand rate model for the optimisation of retail sales of perishable assets when consumers track prices over the sales horizon. We model this behaviour within an aggregate demand framework, solving the initial joint inventory and pricing problem when the demand is deterministic as...
