Abstract
The problem of returning or of selling the inventory excess to optimal stock level is considered for deteriorating items. Two inventory models, viz. the infinite and the finite horizon models, are developed, in which the deterioration is assumed to be a constant fraction of the on hand inventory. Both the models are developed under the assumptions of instantaneous delivery and no shortages. When there is no deterioration, the developed models are related to the corresponding inventory models for non-deteriorating items. Examples are given to illustrate the derived results.
