Fuzzy Inventory Model for Time Dependent Deterioration with Quadratic Demand
Abstract
This paper investigates a fuzzy inventory model designed for deteriorating items with a time-dependent deterioration rate and a quadratic demand rate, while assuming no shortages. To address uncertainties inherent in inventory systems, the model utilizes fuzzy set theory, employing hexagonal fuzzy numbers as decision variables. The graded mean integration representation (GMIR) approach is applied to defuzzify these variables, enabling the determination of the optimal inventory strategy in a fuzzy environment. The primary objective is to minimize the total inventory cost per unit time by accounting for dynamic demand and deterioration rates. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the methodology, and sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the impact of various parameters on cost and cycle time. Results indicate that the fuzzy model achieves a 2.6% cost reduction compared to a crisp model, showcasing its efficiency and adaptability. These findings underscore the model’s relevance for industries managing perishable goods, offering a robust framework for cost optimization under uncertain conditions.
