Constrained multi-item inventory system with variable demands are considered. The demand rates of five selected multi-item - Cowbell, Milo, SMA, Cerelac and Golden Morn were modeled as Weibull, Normal and Lognormal probability distributions respectively with the aid of chi-squared multinomial goodness-of-fit test. The respective probability distributions with estimated location parameters: 491.55, 536.92, 10.5, 2.1926 and 5.3103 were used as the basis of probabilistic inventory models to obtain dynamic EOQ for each item under each constraint subject to Kuhn, Karush and Tucker (KKT) conditions as against the use of simple averages in deterministic inventory models. The optimal values of these constraints: available warehouse space (124sq.ft), specified level of inventory (94 units), limited capital (76,671.52 naira) and number of orders (1/month) were obtained using the optimal EOQ values to establish optimal inventory level and constraints level/capacity for each item in order to avoid shortage or excess stock.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
