Abstract

An inventory problem in which annual demand is normally distributed with known means and standard deviations is considered. A purchase price increase is imminent before the next order is placed. Volume discounts are also given in accordance to the size of the order. A model to compute an optimal order quantity and an optimal delivery point is presented. This model can also account for any price change that may occur from time to time.
