Abstract

In this paper, an economic order quantity (EOQ) model to minimize the total cost for deteriorating items has developed by incorporating items with two-component demand rate. Firstly, from starting to a certain period of the cycle, the demand rate is considered as constant, and secondly, the demand rate is assumed as a linear function of time for the last part of the cycle. The distribution for the deterioration rate of each item is considered as a three-parameter Weibull distribution function. A solution procedure is provided to determine the EOQ and the optimum average total cost. Finally, results are analyzed and demonstrated with an illustrative example.
