Abstract

This paper follows the discounted cashflow (DCF) approach to investigate the inventory replenishment problem for deteriorating items taking account of inflation over a finite planning horizon. A deterministic inventory model with deterioration is developed when a delay in payments is permissible. In addition, an algorithm is developed to find the optimal number of replenishment, cycle time, and order quantity so that the total present value of costs is minimized. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the results and the sensitivity analysis of parameters on the optimal solutions is carried out.
