Inventory systems for deteriorating items with shortages and a linear trend in demand-taking account of time value

Abstract This paper derives an inventory model for deteriorating items with the demand of linear trend and shortages during the finite planning horizon considering the time value of money. A simple solution algorithm using a line search is presented to determine the optimal interval which has positive inventories. Numerical examples are given to explain the solution algorithm. Sensitivity analysis is performed to study the effect of changes in the system parameters. Scope and purpose The traditional inventory model considers the ideal case in which depletion of inventory is caused by a constant demand rate. However, in real-life situations there is inventory loss due to deterioration. In a realistic product life cycle, demand is increasing with time and eventually reaching zero. Most of the classical inventory models did not take into account the effects of inflation and time value of money. But in the past, the economic situation of most of the countries has changed to such an extent due to large scale inflation and consequent sharp decline in the purchasing power of money. So, it has not been possible to ignore the effects of inflation and time value of money any further. The purpose of this article is to present a solution procedure for the inventory problem of deteriorating items with shortages and a linear trend in demand taking account of time value.
