Abstract
In this chapter, a multi-storage inventory system has been considered to develop a deterministic inventory model in finite planning horizon. Realistically, it is shown that due to large stock and insufficient space of existing own warehouse (OW); excess items are stored in single rented warehouse (RW). Due to different preserving facilities and storage environment, inventory holding cost is considered to be different in different warehouses. Here, the replenishment cycle lengths are of equal length, the demand rate is a continuous linear increasing function of time and partially backlogged shortages are allowed in all cycles. In each cycle, the replenishment cost is assumed to be dependent linearly on lot size and the stocks of RW are also transported to OW in continuous release pattern. The model is formulated as a constrained non-linear mixed integer cost objective function under single management. Finally, results with a sensitivity analysis have been shown with the help of a real coded GA.
