 Inventory models with managerial policy independent of demandShih-Wei Lin European Journal of Operational Research, 2011, vol. 211, issue 3, 520-524 Abstract: This paper is an extension of two papers. The first of these, published in European Journal of Operational Research, 2007, 112-120 is by Deng et al. (2007) and concerns inventory models for deteriorating items with ramp type demand. The second, published in Computer & Industrial Engineering, 2009, 1296-1300 is by Cheng and Wang (2009) and concerns inventory models for deteriorating items with trapezoidal type demand. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, this paper will show that the optimal solution is independent of the demand considered in the two previous papers. Second, several replenishment cycles were considered during the finite time horizon, to balance the set-up cost with the sum of the deteriorated cost, holding cost, and shortage cost. Third, this paper will examine the same numerical example in Cheng and Wang (2009) to show that this new approach will result in the saving of 84.39%.
