In this paper, we have developed an instantaneous replenishment policy for deteriorating items with price-dependent demand. The demand and deterioration rates are continuous and differentiable function of price and time respectively. A variable proportion of the items will deteriorate per time, where shortages are permissible and completely backordered. We have developed a policy with price-dependent demand under profit maximization. The net profit per unit time is a concave function. Further, it is illustrated with the help of a numerical example.
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.
