Abstract

 

In this paper, we study the inventory model for deteriorating items with different constant demand rates, that is, the demand rate is piecewise linear function. The deterioration rate is assumed as constant. We have proposed an inventory replenishment policy for this type of inventory model. The numerical solution of the model is also obtained and examined.

 

Key words: Inventory, deteriorating items, constant demand rate.
