One important aspect under-looked in research is the effect of deterioration, where a reserve stock … balance typical economic costs of ordering, holding, and shortage, as well as additional costs of deterioration and preventive … measures. Our main results are showing that (i) deterioration significantly increases cost (up to 5%) and (ii) a preventive …

In this paper, for the first time, an inventory control model to determine the optimal order and shortage quantities of a perishable item when the supplier offers a special sale is developed. Four possible cases based on decision that the purchaser might make about the first replenishment policy...

Trade credit is the most prevailing economic phenomena used by the suppliers for encouraging the retailers to increase their ordering quantity. In this article, an attempt is made to derive a mathematical model to find optimal credit policy and hence ordering quantity to minimize the cost. Even...

We study a non-cooperative game for joint replenishment by n firms that operate under an EOQ-like setting. Each firm decides whether to replenish independently or to participate in joint replenishment, and how much to contribute to joint ordering costs in case of participation. Joint...

The study focuses attention on a grouping procedure for the purpose of joint inventory replenishments from a single supplier. The grouping procedure exploits the group discounts available on the total purchase value of a group of index and the economies of scale of order placing costs. In...

This paper compares the commonly used periodic review, replenishment interval, order-up-to (R, T ) policy to the continuous review, reorder point, order quantity, (Q, r) model. We show that long-run average cost function for the single-product (R, T ) policy has a structure similar to that of...

In this paper we give a complete analysis of the joint replenishment problem (JRP) under constant demands and continuous time. We present a solution method for the JRP when a correction is made for empty replenishments, and we test the solution procedures with real data. We show that the...

During the last two decades, many heuristic procedures for the joint replenishment problem have appeared in the literature. The only available optimal solution procedure was based on an enumerative approach and was computationally prohibitive. In this paper we present an alternative optimal...

We study the joint replenishment problem (JRP) for M items under deterministic demand, with a minimum order quantity constraint for each item in the replenishment order. We first study an iterative procedure that proves to be not efficient in this case. Further, we derive bounds on the basic...
