SINGLE PERIOD INVENTORY MODEL WITH STOCHASTIC DEMAND AND PARTIAL BACKLOGGING

ABSTRACT In this present scenario of world economy both the factors like salvage and stock-out situations are equally important. Continuous sources of uncertainty (stochastic demand), has a different impact on optimal inventory settings and prevents optimal solutions from being found in closed form. In this paper an approximate closed-form solution is developed using a single stochastic period of demand. Assorted level of demand is viewed in form of a special class of inventory evolution known as finite inventory process. Here the Inventory process is reviewed in form of three cases. This paper involves the study of optimality of the expected cost using the SCBZ property. Shortage cost is kept in view, in order to meet the customer demand. Finally this paper aims to show the optimal solution for three cases of finite inventory model in which the demand is varied according to the SCBZ property. Appropriate Numerical illustrations provide a justification for its unique existence
