A Multi Item Integrated Inventory Model with Reparability and Manufacturing of Fresh Products

Abstract

In this paper a multi item integrated inventory model is presented with reparability of returned items. It is assumed here that only a certain ratio of returned items can be repaired and the remaining stock of returned items is salvaged. By using these returned items, the waste can be reduced, which pollute the environment. This is a green supply chain where the demand for the products is selling price dependent and production rate is taken as a function of demand rate. The shortages are allowed here. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are also presented to illustrate the model.
