Abstract

For optimal utilization of resources, the inventory models are required in several places such as market yards, production processes, warehouses, oil exploration industries and food vegetable markets. Huge work has been produced by several researchers in inventory models for obtaining optimal ordering quantity and pricing policies. This paper addresses an EOQ model for deteriorating items having Weibull decay under inflation and permissible delay in payments. It is considered that the demand of items is a function of selling price. It is further assumed that the decay of items starts after certain period of time which can be well characterized by truncated Weibull probability model for the life time of the commodity. The optimal ordering and pricing policies of this system are derived and analyzed in the light of the input parameters and costs. Through sensitivity analysis it is demonstrated that the delay in the payments and rate of inflation have significant effect on the optimal policies. This model is very useful in the analyzing market yards where sea foods, vegetables, fruits, edible oils are stored and distributed.

Keywords: EOQ model, selling price depended demand, truncated decay.

1. Introduction

Decay is the major consideration for planning inventory and scheduling orders. The decay is in general random due to various factors such as environmental conditions, type of commodity, storage facility and natural life time. Considering the life time of commodity as random several authors developed various inventory model for deteriorating items with various plausible assumptions. The review on inventory models with deteriorating items is given by [1], [2], [3], [4]. Recently [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], and [10] have developed several inventory models with the assumption that the life time of a commodity is random and follows a specified distribution depending on the nature of commodity. In all these papers they assumed that the decay starts immediately after the procurement. But in many practical situations the deterioration of items in the stock starts only after certain period of time. This type of delay in decay can be characterized by truncated Weibull life time distribution which is often known as three parameter Weibull distribution.

Another basic assumption made by all these authors is that the payments must be made to the supplier immediately after receiving the items. However, it is a common phenomenon that the supplier allows a certain fixed period for finalizing the accounts and does not charge any interest during that period from the retailer. In [11] studied an EOQ model with assumption of permissible delay in payments. His work was extended to deteriorating items by [12]. Later [13], [14], [15] and others have developed EOQ models with permissible delay in payments.

INVENTORY MODEL WITH SELLING PRICE DEPENDENT DEMAND_Volume 17, December 2022

In today's business transaction, the supplier will offer a cash discount to encourage the retailer in addition to allowing a fixed period for settlement of account. In addition to this there is a change in money value over time. Ignoring inflation may leads falsification in the model. Recently [16] has studied Inventory Model with Generalized Pareto life time under permissible delay in payments while deriving the optimal pricing and ordering policies. Considering the inflation several authors have studied various inventory model with permissible delay in payments. However, they assumed the decay is constant or independent of time, but in many practical situations the deteriorating rate is time dependent. An EOQ model with time quadratic demand by [17]. They considered the inflation while determining the optimal policies.

Little work has been reported regarding EOQ models under permissible delay in payments having inflation and selling price dependent demand, which are very useful for analyzing many practical situations arising at market yards, warehouse etc. Hence in this paper we develop and analyze the Economic Order Quantity model with truncated Weibull decay under permissible delay in payments and inflation having selling price dependent demand.

Section (2) of this paper deals with the assumptions of the model and notation. Section (3) is to develop the instantaneous inventory level at any given time t. The optimal ordering and pricing policies of the model are derived in Section (4). Section (5) considers Numerical illustration of the model. The sensitivity analysis is presented in Section (6). Section (7) deals with conclusions.

2. Assumptions

For developing the Economic Order Quantity model, the following assumptions are made

• Deterioration start time is y.

• Weibull distribution is the life time distribution of the commodity. Its p.d.f is

f(t) = a/3(t — y)!-1e

Where a is the scale parameter, p is the shape parameter and y is the location parameter The instantaneous deterioration rate is

h(t) = a(t — y)! , t>y

• Demand function is

R(p(t)) = a — bp(t) = a — bpert Which is selling price dependent demand. Where, a is the fixed demand, a > 0, b is the demand parameter, b > 0, and a > b, p(t) is the selling price of an item at time t and p is the selling price of the item at time t = 0.

• Rate of inflation is r, 0 < r < 1

• Shortages are not allowed.

• Zero lead time.

• During the permissible delay period (M), the account is not settled, the generated sales revenue is deposited in an interest-bearing account. At the end of the trade credit period, the customer pays off for all the units ordered.

• There is no repair or replacement of the deteriorated units during the cycle time.

Notation

H : Finite horizon length.

R(p(t)) : Demand per unit time as a function of selling price.

h : Holding cost of inventory per unit time after excluding interest.

r : Rate of inflation.

p(t) = pert : Per unit selling price.

g(t) = gert : Purchase cost of a unit at time t.

A(t) = Aert : Per order cost at time t.

lc : Interest charged per Rs. INR in stock per a year by the supplier.

le : Interest earned in Rs. INR per a year.

M : Permissible delay period which is allowed in settling the account.

Q : Order quantity per a cycle.

T : Cycle length

I(t) : On-hand inventory at time t,0 < t < T.

TC(p, T) : Total cost over (0, H).

NP(p, T) : Net profit rate function over planning period.

3. Inventory Model

Let Q be the inventory level of the system at time t = 0. During (0, y) inventory will decrease due to demand and during (y , T) inventory will decrease due to demand and deterioration. Since no shortages are allowed, at time T the inventory level reaches zero, the stock is replenished instantaneously. The schematic diagram representing the inventory level is shown in Figure-3.1.

Figure -1: Schematic diagram representing the inventory level of selling price dependent demand model

Let I(t) be the on-hand inventory at time t. The differential equations governing the on-hand inventory at time t are

I(t) = -R(p(tj) 0<t<y (1)

I(t) + h(t)I(t) = -R(p(t)) y<t<T (2)

where h(t) = aft (t- y)!~# y <t<T

and R(p(t)) = a — bp(t) = a — bpert with initial conditions 1(0) = Q and I(T) = 0. Solving equation (1) and using the initial condition 1(0) = Q, we get bp

I(t) = Q — at + — (ert — 1) 0<t<y (3)

Solving equation (2) and using the initial condition I(T) = 0, we get

I(t) = e

4. The Optimal Ordering and Pricing Policies

For computing interest charged and earned, there are two possibilities based on the customer's choice. Interest Charges (IC) for unsold items at the initial time or after the permissible delay period M and interest Earned (IE) from the sales revenue during the permissible delay period.

Hence, the net profit is NP(p, T) = (perT - gerT)(a - bperT) - TC(p, T) where, TC(p, T) is as given in (14)

Substituting the optimal values T* and p* in equation (14) we get the minimum total cost. Substituting this minimum total cost, T* and p* in equation (15), we get the maximum profit as

5. Numerical Illustration

The optimal values of selling price (p) and cycle length (T) are obtained by using the equation (16) and (17) or (23) and (24). The optimal values of T are taken as T = T# if T# >M and T = T2 if T2<M.

To illustrate the developed model of Case (i) i.e, if T# > M, a numerical example with the following parameter values is considered. The deteriorating parameters a,p and y vary from 0.020 to 0.024, 0.06 to 0.72 and 0.06 to 0.72 respectively. The values of the other parameters and costs are considered as follows: a = 1000 to1200 ,b = 0.010 to 0.012 units, A = Rs. 250.0 to 300.0,g = Rs. 0.20 to 0.24 = Rs. 0.100 to 0.120 Ic = Rs. 0.150 to 0.180, Ie = Rs. 0.120 to 0.144, M = 15 days = — = 0.500 to 0.600, r = 0.010 to 0.012, H = 12.0 to 14.4 months.

By substituting the above values in equations (16) and (17) and solving, the optimal values of cycle length T and selling price p are obtained. Substituting the optimal values of cycle length T and selling price p in equations (5) and (15), the optimal values of Order quantity Q and net profit NP are obtained and presented in Table-1.

From Table-1, it is observed that when the parameter 'a' is increasing from 1000 to 1200 units, the optimal ordering quantity 'Q\ the cycle length 'T' and the net profit 'NP' are increasing from 1250.845 to 1585.738 units, 1.245 to 1.314 and Rs.1977.152 to Rs.2050.474 respectively and the unit selling price 'p' is decreasing from Rs. 4.275 to Rs. 3.625, when other parameters and costs are fixed.

When the parameter 'b' is increasing from 0.010 to 0.012 units, the optimal ordering quantity 'Q' increasing from 1250.845 to 1250.849, cycle length 'T, selling price 'p' are remains constant at 1.245, Rs.4.275 and the net profit 'NP' is decreasing from Rs.1977.151 to Rs.1977.150 respectively, when other parameters and costs are fixed.

As the deterioration parameter a is increasing from 0.020 to 0.024, the optimal ordering

quantity 'Q' and the cycle length 'T' are increasing from 1250.845 to 1375.107 units, 1.245 to 1.365 respectively and the unit selling price 'p' and the net profit 'NP' are decreasing from Rs. Rs.4.275 to Rs. 4.140 and Rs.1977.152 to Rs.1953.603 respectively, when other parameters and costs are fixed.

In this paper an EOQ model for deteriorating items with permissible delay in payments having truncated Weibull distribution with inflation is proposed and analyzed. In inventory control, permissible delay in payments has significance influence in obtaining the optimal pricing and ordering policies. The truncated Weibull distribution is one of the most significant life time distributions for items such as food and vegetables markets, market yards and chemical industries, etc., where the deterioration is skewed and having long upper tail. The truncated Weibull distribution includes exponential distribution as a particular case. The sensitivity analysis of the model revealed that the pricing and ordering are highly influenced by the parameters and costs. The model with constraints on warehouse capacity and budget can also be developed with permissible delay in payment and truncated Weibull decay which will be published elsewhere.
