The aim of this paper is to illustrate the determination of the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) or Economic Number of Orders (ENO) when the Total Ordering Cost (TOC) and Total Handling Cost (THC) are not equally the same. For this purpose, two assumptions of the basic EOQ model - (a) the constant...

In stock management, Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is an important inventory management system that demonstrates the quantity of an item to reduce the total cost of both handling of inventory (Handling Cost) and order processing (Ordering Cost). The purpose of determining the EOQ is to minimise...

In this study, we are primarily motivated by the research problem of recognizing heterogeneous customer behavior towards waiting for order fulfillment under the 'threshold rationing policy' (also known as the 'critical level policy'), and aim to find its effect on system stock levels and...

We consider a two-stage serial supply chain with capacity limits, where each installation is operated by managers attempting to minimize their own costs. A multiple-period model is necessitated by the multiple stages, capacity limits, stochastic demand, and the explicit consideration of...

For serial multi-echelon systems subject to production capacity limits at every stage, we consider a class of modified echelon base stock (MEBS) policies. To evaluate information requirements of such systems, we consider two separate inventory management mechanisms operated in a decentralized...

In the classical Harris-Wilson (1915) inventory model all the cost associated with the formula was taken to be constant and which also does not depend on any quantity. There are many practical situations where this is not true. This paper considers an inventory model where the carrying cost...
