Pardalos) Abstract. This paper presents production-inventory model for deteriorating items with constant demand under the effect of inflation and time-value of money. Models are developed without shortages while using two production cost functions. In the first case, production cost is divided into two parts: an initial cost which occurs at the beginning of each cycle and is applied to the entire quantity produced during the cycle and a running cost that is incurred as production progresses and is applied to the initial units produced. In the second case, the production cost is incurred at the beginning of the cycle. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results and made the sensitivity analysis of parameters on the optimal solutions. The validation of this model's result was coded in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 1. Introduction. Traditional inventory models do not take into account the timevalue of money and item during storage are assumed to be non-perishable. However, in reality, most products will deteriorate during storage and there is the time-value of money due to opportunity cost. With this in view, a deteriorating inventory model is developed to take into account the time-value of money. Most researches in inventory do not consider the time-value of money. This is unrealistic since the resource of an enterprise depends very much on when it is used and this is highly by correlated to the return of investment. Therefore, taking into account the time value of money should be critical especially when investment and forecasting are considered. Inventory problems considering deterioration of items and constant demand were first studied by P.M.Ghare and G.F.Schrader(1963)[4].S.Eilon 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.

VENKATACHALAM AND S. PANAYAPPAN and R.V.Mallaya(1966)[3] extended the model to consider price-dependent demand. The concept of the time-value of money and inflation are commonly applied to investment and forecasting where time is an important factor. J.A.Buzacott(1979)[1] is perhaps the first author to include the concept of inflation in inventory modeling. He developed a minimum cost model for a single item inventory with inflation. According to the study of H.M. Wee(1993)[13], deteriorating items refers to the items that become decayed, damaged, evaporative, expires, invalid, devaluation and so on through time. According to the definition, deteriorating items can be classified into two categories. The first category refers to the items that become decayed, damaged, evaporative, or expires through time, like meat, vegetables, fruit, medicine, flowers film and so on; the other category refers to the items that lose part or total value through time because of new technology or the introduction of alternatives, like computer chips, mobile phones, fashion and seasonal goods and so on. Both categories have the characteristic of short life cycle. In the first category, the items have a short natural life cycle. After a specific period (such as durability), the natural attributes of the items change and then lose useable value and economic value; In the second category, the items have short market life cycle. After a period of popularity in the market, the items loss the original economic value due to the changes in consumer preference, product upgrading and other reasons. Wee et al.(1999)[14] applied the discounted cash-flow approach to the deterministic inventory model for an item that deteriorates over time at a varying rate and derived optimal production and pricing policies to maximize the net present value of profits over a finite planning horizon. I Moon and S Lee(2000)[6] considered extensions to the EOQ model particularly recognition of the time-value of money and inflation and developed simulation model that can be used for any distribution case, setting out the associated algorithm. N. H. Shah(2006)[10] derived an inventory model by assuming constant rate of deterioration of units in an inventory, time value of money under the conditions of permissible delay in payments. The optimal replenishments and fraction of cycle time are decision variables to minimize the present value of inventory cost over a finite planning horizon. Chung and Chang (2007)[2] developed a deterministic inventory model incorporating a temporary price discount, deteriorating items and time-value of money. S.R.Singh(2009)[11] proposed to derive a deterministic inventory model for a stock with time-varying deterioration rate with a linear trend in demand over a finite planning horizon in the study and assumed that the supplier offers credit limit to the retailers during which there is no interest charged. Widyadana et al. (2010) extended I Moon and S Lee's model (2000)[6] to examine a production system with a random life cycle, two conditions are discussed: the first is when the product life cycle ends in the production stage and the second is when the product life cycle ends in the non-production stage and developed an algorithm to derive the optimal period time and expected total cost. Barzoki et al. (2011)[7] presented the effect of inflation and time value of money on the EPQ model with rework and the total cost relation involves a exponential function. S. Singh et al. (2011)[12] developed an inventory model for decaying items with selling price dependent demand in which inflationary environment and deterioration rate is taken as two parameter Weibull distribution. Sarkar and Moon (2011)[9] considered a production inventory model for stochastic demand, with the effect of inflation and profit function is derived by using both general distribution of demand and the uniform rectangular distribution demand. A. Roy and G. P. Samanta(2011)[8] reflected the real life problem by allowing unit selling price and purchasing price to be PRODUCTION INVENTORY MODEL 1155 unequal and continuous production control inventory model for deteriorating items in which two different rates of production are available. Lia et al. (2012) developed an inventory model for exponential deteriorating items under conditions of permissible delay in payments. The objective is to determine the optimal replenishment policies, in order to maximize the systems average profit per unit of time. Factors such as demand, deteriorating rate and so on should be taken into consideration in the deteriorating inventory study. Other factors like price discount, allow shortage or not, inflation and the time-value of money are also important in the study of deteriorating items inventory. By making different combinations of these factors stated above, we can get different inventory models. Time value of money was one of the first special concepts considered as the basic EOQ model. The effect of time value of money is very important and it should reflect the development of inventory models. Since, money tied up in inventories can change its actual value over time; the effect of inflation rate can affect the optimal policies. In this paper, models were developed for an infinite planning horizon which considering time value of money. Closed formulas are obtained in models, where shortage is not allowed for the optimal policies and the corresponding cost. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 is concerned with assumptions and notations, Section 3 presents the mathematical model for finding the optimal solutions and numerical example. Finally, the paper summary and conclusion in section 4. 2. Assumptions and notations. 2.1. Assumptions. The following assumptions are used to formulate the problem. 1.

PANAYAPPAN 3. Mathematical model. The objective of the inventory models is to determine the optimal cycle time or the corresponding optimal production quantity in order to minimize the total relevant cost. Consequently, the production time and the maximum inventory level can easily be calculated. Figure 1 represents the EPQ model with constant demand. The inventory on-hand increases with the rate P D, which is the production rate minus consumption rate, until time T1 when the production process stops and the inventory on hand reaches its maximum level Q1 . After that point, the inventory level decreases with the consumption rate D, until it becomes zero at the end of the cycle T , when the production process is resumed again. Figure 1. Production Inventory Cycle During the production stage, the inventory of good items increases due to production but decreases due to demand and deterioration items. Thus, the inventory differential equation is dI(t) + I(t) = P D ; 0 t T1 dt (1) The inventory differential equation during the consumption period with no production and subsequently reduction in the inventory level due to deterioration items is given by dI(t) + I(t) = D ; T1 t T (2) dt With the boundary conditions: I(0) = 0, I(T1 ) = Q1 , I(T ) = 0 During the first cycle, the inventory level I(t), at time t is equal to From (1), I(t) = \u0003 P D \u0002 1 et ; 0 t T1 (3) From (1), i Dh 1 e(T t) 1 ; T1 t T We know that, I1 (T1 ) = I2 (T1 ) from the equations (3) and (4) , i Dh i P D h I(t) = 1 eT1 ) = e(T T1 ) 1 I(t) = (4) (5) PRODUCTION INVENTORY MODEL 1157 In order to facilitate analysis, we do an asymptotic analysis for I1 (t). Expanding the exponential functions and neglecting second and higher power of for small value of . Therefore, \u0014 \u0015 \u0014 \u0015 1 1 2 (P D) T1 T12 = D (T T1 ) + (T T1 ) 2 2 From Yong He and Ju He [10], T1 was considered as follows, \u0014 \u0015 \u0014 \u0015 1 1 (P D) T1 T12 = D(T T1 ) 1 + (T T1 ) 2 2 From Misra [11] , T1 was considered as follows, T1 = \u0014 \u0015 1 D (T T1 ) 1 + (T T1 ) P D 2 But in this model, we have considered T1 as follows, (P D)T1 = D(T T1 ), Therefore, T1 = D T P The maximum inventory is as follows: I(T1 ) = Q1 \u0001 P D 1 eT1 = Q1 Therefore, Q1 = (P D)T1 (6) 3.1. Model - 1 Production inventory model with deteriorating items. The total cost comprise of the sum of the production cost, ordering cost, holding cost, deteriorating cost. They are grouped together after evaluating the above cost individually.

It is also seen that when the rate of deteriorative items increase then set up cost, deteriorative cost increases, as there is positive relationship between them and optimum quantity, cycle time, production time, holding cost decreases, there is negative relationship between them. Sensitivity analysis. The total cost functions are the real solution in which the model parameters are assumed to be static values. It is reasonable to study the sensitivity i.e. the effect of making changes in the model parameters over a given optimum solution. It is important to find the effects on different system performance measures, such as cost function, inventory system, etc. For this purpose, sensitivity analysis of various system parameters for models of this research are required to be observed whether the current solutions remain unchanged or infeasible. 1160 V.

With the increase in rate of deteriorating items, optimum quantity (Q), production time (T1 ) , cycle time (T ) decreases but total cost increases. 2. With the increase in setup cost per unit (C0 ) , optimum quantity (Q), Production time (T1 ) , cycle time (T ) and total cost increases. 3. With the increase in holding cost per unit (Ch ), optimum quantity (Q), production time (T1 ) and cycle time (T ) decreases but total cost increases. 4. With the increase in production cost, optimum quantity, cycle time and production time decreases but total cost increases. Special case. If the production system is considered to be ideal that is no deterioration is produced, it means the value of is set to zero. In that case, equations (11) and (12) reduce to the classical economic production quantity model as follows TotalCost(TC) = PurchaseCost + OrderingCost + HoldingCost + ShortageCost C0 Ch P (P D)T12 CS (P D) = DCP + + + (DT P T1 ) 2 T 2T D 2T P D s s 2P C0 (Ch + CS ) 2P DCo (Ch + CS ) T = , Therefore Q = (P D)DCh CS (P D)Ch CS 3.2. Model - 2 Production inventory model with present value money. Case(i). Usually, in the analysis of an inventory system, normally three types of costs are considered. These are production cost, inventory carrying cost and PRODUCTION INVENTORY MODEL 1161 holding cost. But purchasing cost is constant. This is not so if we considered the value of money, hence this cost will be included in the analysis. In the first case, the production cost Cp , has two components. The cost C1 , that is incurred at the beginning of each cycle and is applied to the total quantity produced during the cycle and a second cost C2 which is incurred as the production process takes place. To incorporate the effect of time-value of money into the equations, the difference between the interest rate and inflation rate is calculated as r, the inflation free or real interest rate representing the time value of money. That is, r = R f .

Conclusion. The deterministic inventory control problem was considered for the determination of optimal production quantities for items with constant demand rate, while considering the effect of time value of money. Two different models are developed. In the first model, deterioration is considered and in the second model, deterioration with time value of money is considered. In the second model, two different production cost functions are considered. In the first case, the production cost is incurred at the beginning of the cycle, while in the second, the production cost consists of two parts: an initial cost, which is incurred at the beginning of the cycle and is applied to the entire quantity produced during the cycle and a running cost that is incurred as production progresses and is applied to the individual units produced. Closed formulae were obtained for the optimal cycle time and the corresponding optimal production quantity for the models without shortage. Numerical PRODUCTION INVENTORY MODEL 1171 Table 8.

This research can be extended as follows: 1. In developing the models, only one concept was introduced at a time, along with time value of money. One may investigate models with a combination of several concepts and determine the optimal polices for these cases. 2. Another extension to this research could be an attempt to prove the convexity of the total cost function where the interest rate is included in the total cost function. 3. The models developed in this research were considered for a single item. One may relax this assumption and consider models with multiple items. 4. The production rate in all the models was constant and the demand rate was either constant or increasing linearly over time. Other extension to this research could be to consider probabilistic demand or production rate. 1172 V. CHOUDRI, M. VENKATACHALAM AND S. PANAYAPPAN The proposed model can assist the manufacturer and retailer in accurately determining the optimal quantity, cycle time and inventory total cost. Moreover, the proposed inventory model can be used in inventory control of certain items such as food items, fashionable commodities, stationery stores and others. REFERENCES [1] J. A.

FINANCE ARTICLE REVIEWS (Approximately 3-4 pages, 4 page maximum): You must properly cite the article at the beginning of your review (author, date, article title, journal publication, pages, etc.). If you obtained a copy via Internet resources, provide explicit instructions on how to obtain the article via the Internet. Your article being reviewed must come from a scholarly / academic finance journal (SEE ATTACHED). To qualify as an academic journal article, it must include a list of citations/references. I recommend using PROQUEST or other online library databases available through Bellevue University's library to locate a finance journal. The key requirement is that the articles MUST address a finance issue/concept, such as those discussed in the course or text. TIME VALUE OF MONEY ANALYSIS. Your review must have 5 clearly identified sections, as follows: #1) Section 1 heading = \"Original Work Statement\": Verify the review is original work prepared solely for this class by including the following statement: \"I, (insert your name), verify that this article review is solely my own work and creation and it has been prepared solely for credit in this class, and that this review, including the \"main issue of the article\" section has been written in my own words.\" #2) Section 2 heading = \"Article Citation\": provide a full & complete citation of the article being reviewed (author, date, article title, publication title, pages, etc.) and how/where article was accessed; Use APA or similar style. Do NOT copy a long list of information from Proquest or similar database. #3) Section 3 heading = \"Main Issue of Article\" -- clearly & succinctly summarize what the MAIN ISSUE of the article is, and the key points regarding that issue. Communicate a clear, simple, straight-forward message that your peers can follow and understand, and learn from. DO NOT \"DATA DUMP.\" #4) Section 4 heading = \"Relationship to Course\" -- clearly state how the article relates to this course : briefly discuss what sections, chapters, and/or concepts of this course are related to this article. #5) Section 5 heading = \"Personal Reflection and Comments\" -- your reaction or observations regarding the content. Indicate what you think of the content, its significance and implications, etc. Article reviews & other work submitted in this class MUST be original work you complete solely for this class. Work previously submitted for another class may not be submitted for credit in this class. The reviews will be evaluated on adherence to the assignment (must have above required sections clearly labeled in the review), the clarity, efficiency, and effectiveness of communication of the main issues, its relevance to this course, the appropriate use of financial terms, the level of thought communicated (particularly with respect to your reaction/observations), grammatical accuracy (spelling, sentence structure), etc. See schedule for due dates
