سیاست های موجودی آیتم رو به وخامت با تقاضای متغیر تحت دوره اعتبار تجاری

In this paper, an inventory model of a deteriorating item with stock and selling price dependent demand under two-level credit period has been developed. Here, the retailer enjoys a price discount if he pays normal purchase cost on or before the first level of credit period, or an interest is charged for the delay of payments. In return, retailer also offers a fixed credit period to his customers to boost the demand. In this regard, the authors develop an EOQ model incorporating the effect of inflation and time value of money over all the costs. Keeping the business of seasonal products in mind, it is assumed that planning horizon of business is random and follows a normal distribution with a known mean and standard deviation. The model is formulated as retailer’s profit maximization problem for both crisp and fuzzy inventory costs and solved using a modified Genetic Algorithm (MGA). This algorithm is developed following fuzzy age based selection process for crossover and gradually reducing mutation parameter. For different values of MGA parameters, optimum results are obtained. Numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the model.
