In this paper, we propose an inventory model where items are inspected through multiple screening processes before delivery to customers. Each screening process has independent screening rate and defective percentage. Defective items…

Inventory models with imperfect quality items are studied by researchers in past two decades. Till now none of them have considered the effect of substitutions to cope up with shortage and avoid lost sales. This paper presents an EOQ…

The paper proposes a novel Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) inventory model within a reverse logistics framework, addressing new and repaired products with varying quality and demand patterns. The model integrates production and…

Excessive greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector have led companies to move towards a sustainable supply chain network design. In this study we present a new bi-objective non-linear formulation where multiple inventory…

The most commonly developed inventory models are the classical economic order quantity model, is governed by the integer order differential equations. We want to come out from the traditional thought i.e. classical order inventory model…

There is a great need to stock materials for production, but storing materials comes at a cost. Lack of organization in the inventory can result in a very high cost for the final product, in addition to generating other problems in the…

In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a simple leakage inventory model without shortages with instantaneous or finite production rate under fuzzy environment. In the present day scenario, it is difficult to decide the exact…

We consider a manufacturer who manages the end-of-life phase and takes one of the three actions at each period: (1) place an order, (2) use existing inventory, (3) stop holding inventory and use an outside/alternative source. Two examples…

Group-buying auction has become a popular marketing strategy in the last decade. In this paper, a stochastic model is developed for an inventory system subjects to demands from group-buying auctions. The model discussed here takes into the…

Queueing-inventory systems are integrated systems consisting of two emerging fields in applied probability, namely "Queues" and "Inventory". In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of the theory and applications of…

In this paper we address the problem of learning and backtesting inventory control policies in the presence of general arrival dynamics -- which we term as a quantity-over-time arrivals model (QOT). We also allow for order quantities to be…

Uncertainty in demand and supply conditions poses critical challenges to effective inventory management, especially in collaborative environments. Traditional inventory models, such as those based on the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), often…

We study the inbound supply mode and inventory management decision making for a company that sells an assortment of products. Stochastic demand for each product arrives periodically and unmet demand is backlogged. Each product has two…

Supply chain management is an integrated approach for planning and controlling materials, information, and finances as they move in a process which begins from suppliers and ends with customers in forward approach. As distribution network…

Not too long ago, offshoring was considered a panacea for many U.S. companies to achieve economic sustainability. Offshoring also created an unnecessary movement of goods between the point of consumption and the point of sourcing and hence…

Newly, the rates of energy and material consumption to augment industrial pro-duction are substantially high, thus the environmentally sustainable industrial de-velopment has emerged as the main issue of either developed or developing…

Topological materials are at the forefront of quantum materials research, offering tremendous potential for next-generation energy and information devices. However, current investigation of these materials remains largely focused on…

This article introduces an advanced analytical approach for predicting backorders in inventory management. Backorder refers to an order that cannot be immediately fulfilled due to stock depletion. Multiple classification techniques,…

Designing sustainable systems involves complex interactions between environmental resources, social impact/adoption, and financial costs/benefits. In a constrained world, achieving a balanced design across those dimensions has become…

The socioeconomic impact of pollution naturally comes with uncertainty due to, e.g., current new technological developments in emissions' abatement or demographic changes. On top of that, the trend of the future costs of the environmental…
