Two Warehouses Inventory Model with Quadratic Demand and Maximum Life Time

This paper deals with a two warehouses inventory model with quadratic demand. Due to some seasonal products, all time retailers not fulfill the demand of customers, so to solve this difficulty retailer storage some product for future sales in out of season. Here we consider two warehouses system, Own Warehouse (OW) and Rent Warehouse (RW). This paper considers maximum life time for the products and shortages are not allowed. Mathematical model of this paper is proposed to obtain the total cycle time and minimum inventory cost. A numerical example is give to validate this proposed model

Effects of Wood Preservatives on Physical Properties of Wood II. Effects of Different Salt Loadings of Copper-Chrome-Arsenic Composition

Effect of different salt loadings of copper-chrome-arsenic (CCA) preservative on shrinkage, swelling, and equilibrium moisture content at various relative humidities has been reported for Pinus roxburghii and Mangifera indica. At very low salt retentions, treated wood shows excessive shrinkage and swelling, which reaches a maximum and then falls off with increasing salt loadings. The two woods differ as to the position of these maxima. At higher retention levels, shrinkage and swelling are reduced, but the wood becomes more hygroscopic. The increased hygroscopicity is probably due to CCA salt and the additional water is held by the salt molecules deposited in the cell lumens. At low salt retentions, equilibrium moisture content is lowered at all relative humidities. The general sigmoid character of the adsorption curves is maintained at all levels of retentions

A Two Warehouse Inventory Model with Stock-Dependent Demand and variable deterioration rate

In this paper we discuss a two warehouses inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items. Throughout last so many years, mostly researchers have consideration to the situation where the demand rate is dependent on the level of the on-hand inventory. For inventory systems, such as fashionable commodities, the length of the waiting time for the next replenishment would determine whether the backlogging will be accepted or not. In real life situation, enterprises usually buy more goods than can be stored in their own warehouses (OW) for future production or sales. The surplus quantities are frequently stored in an extra storage space, represented by rented warehouses (RW).The rented warehouse is considered to charge high unit holding cost than the own warehouse. The necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution are shown. We determine the optimal replenishment policy for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with partial backlogging and stock-dependent demand
