Methods: In this paper an inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with stock dependant consumption rate and partial back logged in addition the effect of inflection and time value of money on replacement...
Background: The paper is devoted to the cyclic delivery synchronization problem with vehicles serving fixed routes. Each vehicle is assigned to a fixed route: the series of supplier’s and logistic centers to be visited one after another. For each route the service frequency is fixed and known in advance. A vehicle loads at a supplier’s, then it delivers goods to a logistic center and either loads...
