Fuzzy multi-item inventory model with time varying stock dependent demand under partial backlogging

Abstract

In this paper we have formulated a multi-item fuzzy inventory model with stock dependent demand rate and shortages are allowed with partial backlogging. The multi-item inventory model with demand dependent unit cost has been formulated alone with storage space constraints. The partial backlogging rate of unsatisfied demand is assumed to be decreasing exponential function for waiting time. Here the cost parameters, the objective function and constraint are imposed in fuzzy nature. The model has been solved by Fuzzy Goal Programming (FGP) method. Finally the model is expressed by numerical example.
