Using an economic production quantity model for decaying objects, the three-stage system has a partial backlog.
Abstract
This study focuses on the problem of deteriorating EOQ models for decaying things under three different scenarios. Partial backlogs and shortages are allowed under the proposed paradigm. We also show the time-convexity of the total cost function. The model is demonstrated with numerical examples. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is used to validate the proposed model. Mathematica software is used to find numerical solutions.
