SHAH, Poonam MISHRA Department of Mathematics, Gujarat University, Ahmedabad Gujarat, India nita_sha_h@rediffmail.com Received: February 008 / Accepted: May 010 Abstract : In many circumstances retailer is not able to settle the account as soon as items are received. In that scenario supplier can offer two promotional schemes namely cash discount and /or a permissible delay to the customer. In this study, an EOQ model is developed when units in inventory deteriorate at a constant rate and demand is stock dependent. he salvage value is associated to deteriorated units. An algorithm is given to find the optimal solution. he sensitivity analysis is carried out to analyze the effect of critical parameters on optimal solution. Keywords : Deterioration, salvage value, cash discount, trade credit, stock dependent demand. 1. INRODUCION Classical inventory Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model is based on the assumption that the retailer settles the accounts as soon as items are received in his inventory. Practically, this is not possible for retailer every time therefore supplier can offer a cash discount and / or a permissible delay to the retailer if the outstanding amount is paid within the allowable fixed settlement period. For example, the supplier offers 3 % discount off the unit purchase price if the payment is made within 15 days; otherwise full price of items is due within 30 days. his credit term is usually denoted as 3/15, net 30 (e.g, see Brigham (1995, p. 741)). Goyal (1985) derived an EOQ model under the conditions of permissible delay in payments. Shah (1993) and Aggarwal and Jaggi (1995) extended Goyal s model to allow for deteriorating items. Jamal et al. (1997) then further generalized the model to

146 N., H., Shah, P., Mishra / An EOQ Model for Deteriorating Items allow for shortages. Liao et al. (000) developed an inventory model for stockdependent consumption rate when a delay in payment is permissible. Some interesting articles are by Arcelus et al. (001), Arcelus and Srinivasan (1993, 1995, 001), Chu et al. (1998), Chung (1998), Liao et al. (000), Shah (1993a, 1993b, 1997), eng (00) etc. Soni and Shah (005) developed a mathematical model when units in inventory are subject to constant deterioration under the scenario of progressive credit periods. Soni et. al. (006) studied effect of inflation in above stated model. Levin et. al. (197) s quotation: the presence of inventory has motivational effect on customer around it is studied by Soni and Shah (008). hey developed a model in which demand is partially constant and partially dependent on the stock, and the supplier offers to retailer progressive credit period to settle the account. he items like fruits and vegetables, radioactive chemicals, medicines, blood components etc deteriorate with time. he above stated models are derived under the assumption that deterioration of units in inventory is complete loss of retailer. In this research article, an optimal ordering policy is established when units in inventory are subject to constant deterioration when salvage value is associated to the deteriorated units, supplier offers a cash discount and/or a permissible delay to the retailer to settle the account when demand is stock dependent. An algorithm is given to find the optimal solution. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to study the variations in critical parameters on decision variable and objective function.. ASSUMPIONS AND NOAIONS he mathematical model is derived under following assumptions and notations :.1 Assumptions : he inventory system deals with single item. he demand for the item is stock dependent. Shortages are not allowed and lead time is zero. Replenishment rate is infinite. Replenishment is instantaneous. During the time account is not settled, generated sales revenue is deposited in an interest bearing account. At the end of period the customer pays off all units sold, keep profits, and starts paying for the interest charges on the items on stocks. ime horizon is infinite. he following notations are used in the formulation of the model: R(Q(t)) = + βq(t) : the demand rate per annum (stock dependent), where (> 0) is fixed demand and β (> 0) denotes stock dependent parameter. Also >> β. C : the unit purchase cost. γ C : salvage value of deteriorated unit, 0 γ < 1. h : the inventory holding cost per unit per year excluding interest charges. A : ordering cost per order. M : period of cash discount. N : period of permissible delay in setting the account with N > M

N., H., Shah, P., Mishra / An EOQ Model for Deteriorating Items 147 Ic : the interest charged per $ in stock per year by the supplier or a bank. Ie : the interest earned per $ in stock per year r: cash discount (0 < r < 1). θ : the constant deterioration rate. 0 < θ < 1. Q : the procurement quantity (a decision variable) : the replenishment cycle time (a decision variable). Q(t) : the on - hand inventory level at any instant of time t, 0 t. D() : the number of units deteriorated during the cycle time. K() : the total inventory cost per time unit is the sum of : (a) ordering cost; OC, (b) inventory holding cost (excluding interest charges) IHC, (c) cost due to deterioration ; CD, (d) cash discount earned if payment is made at M; DS, (e) salvage value of deteriorated units; SV, and (f) cost of interest charges for unsold items after the permissible delay M or N, (g) interest earned from sales revenue during the permissible period [0, M] or [0, N]. 3. MAHEMAICAL MODEL he on hand inventory depletes due to demand and deterioration of units. he instantaneous state of inventory at any instant of time t is governed by the differential equation. dq( t) = ( + βq ( t) + θ Q ( t)) (3.1) dt with boundary condition Q(0) = Q and Q() = 0, consequently solution of (3.1) can be given by Q ( t ) = θ + β and the order quantity is ( θ + β )( t ) [ e 1 ] Q = Q (0) = [ e 1 ] θ + β,0 < t < (3.) otal demand during one cycle is R ( Q ( )) = ( + β ( Q( ))) =. herefore number of deteriorating items during the cycle is ( [ e 1 ] Q R Q ( )) = θ + β ( + β ) = [ e 1 ( θ + β ) ] - (3.3) θ (3.4) θ + β he total relevant cost per time unit consists of the following elements.

148 N., H., Shah, P., Mishra / An EOQ Model for Deteriorating Items Ordering Cost; OC = A (3.5) C Cost of deteriorating units; CD = [ e 1] γca Salvage value of deteriorated units, SV = [ e 1] h Inventory holding cost; IHC = [ e 1] (3.6) (3.7) (3.8) Due to cash discount, interest charged and earned, we have four cases based on retailer s two choices (i.e. pays at M and N) and length of Case 1: he payment is made at M and N to get a cash discount and M. Case : he retailer pays in full at M to get a cash discount but < M. Case 3: he payment is made at N to get the permissible delay and N. Case 4: he retailer pays in full at N but < N. Next, we discuss each case in detail. Case 1 : M Inventory level Q 0 N M ime Figure 1: Inventory time representation when M Here, the payment is made at M hence retailer saves rcq per cycle due to price discount. he discount saving per year is given by DS = rcq rc = [ e 1] (3.9) Next, as stated in assumption (3.4) the retailer sells R (Q(M)) M units in total at supplier. he items in stock have to be financed at interest rate Ic at time M to pay the supplier in full in order to get the cash discount. hereafter, the retailer gradually reduced the amount of financed loan due to sales and revenue received. herefore, the interest payable per year is

Case : < M Inventory level Q 0 M N Figure : Inventory time representation when M > In this case, the customer sells R units in total at time and has CR to pay the supplier in full at time M. Hence interest charges are zero, while the cash discount is same as that in case 1. Interest earned per time unit is

HEOREICAL RESULS K1 ( ) he first order condition for K 1 () in (3.1) to be minimized is = 0 Now value for θ is sufficiently small. herefore using exponential series 1 + θ + ( θ ), as θ is small (ignoring θ and powers), we get A + M [ C Ic P Ie] 1 = (4.1) [ h + C(1 γ r)( θ + β ) + C Ic + P Ie β M ] K1( ) For second order condition, we obtain > 0 o ensure 1 > M, we substitute (4.1) into equality 1 > M to obtain [ h + C (1 γ r )( β + θ + PI M PI ] A > M ) β + e e (4.) Similarly, we get the first order condition for (case ). K () in (3.14) to be K ( ) minimized is = 0 which leads to = A [ h + C (1 γ r) ( θ + β ) + P Ie] (4.3) K( ) For second order condition, we obtain > 0 Again substituting in the equality < M we obtain [ h + C (1 γ r )( θ + β PI ] A > M ) + (4.4) e K3 ( ) For case 3, first order condition = 0 in (3.0) gives optimal solution of 3 A + N [ C Ic P Ie] = (4.5) [ h + C(1 γ )( θ + β ) + C Ic + P Ie β N ] K3( ) Similarly we can verify second order condition > 0 Substituting (4.5) in inequality N 3 we obtain that [ h + C (1 γ r )( β + θ + PI N PI ] A > N ) β + e e (4.6) K4 ( ) For case 4, first order condition = 0 in (3.0) gives optimal solution of

CONCLUSION In this study, an attempt is made to develop inventory model for deteriorating items when units in inventory deteriorate at a constant rate and demand is stock dependent. he optimal ordering policy is derived when the supplier offers a cash discount and/or a trade credit. he closed form solution is obtained using aylor series expansion. An algorithm is provided to find the optimal policy. It suggests that instead of considering the deteriorated units to be a complete loss they can be available at reduced price and it has significant impact on total cost.
