Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is a fundamental inventory management formula that determines the optimal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize total inventory costs, including ordering and holding costs, while meeting demand. It aims to identify the most cost-effective quantity to order, balancing the trade-offs between ordering frequency and inventory levels.

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is a fundamental inventory management formula that determines the optimal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize total inventory costs, including ordering and holding costs, while meeting demand. It aims to identify the most cost-effective quantity to order, balancing the trade-offs between ordering frequency and inventory levels.

Key research themes

1. How can Economic Order Quantity models incorporate deterioration, imperfect quality, and environmental emission considerations to optimize sustainable inventory decisions?

This research theme explores extensions of the classical EOQ model to accommodate real-world complexities such as item deterioration, imperfect quality, and environmental impact through emission costs. These factors are crucial for industries managing perishable goods or facing sustainability pressures, aiming to balance cost, quality, and ecological concerns in inventory management.

Key finding: Develops a multi-item EOQ model incorporating deterioration and active storage capacity constraints, solved using Lagrange multipliers. The model determines optimal cycle times with and without backorders and shortage levels... Read more
Key finding: Proposes EOQ models integrating imperfect quality and emission costs resulting from warehousing and waste disposal, extending inventory decision-making to jointly optimize order sizes and profitability while accounting for... Read more
Key finding: Introduces an exergetic cost framework to the EOQ model by incorporating capital, labor, and environmental remediation costs via Extended Exergy Accounting. Applies the model across firms in different countries, showing... Read more
Key finding: Develops an entropic EOQ model including entropy costs to represent disorder in inventory systems, particularly for perishable items with cash discount incentives during post-deterioration. Numerical comparisons between EnOQ... Read more

2. How do inventory demand dependencies, such as stock-level, price, temporal factors, and item interrelationships, affect optimal EOQ policies for perishable and growing items?

This theme centers on how EOQ models are extended to account for demand that depends dynamically on inventory levels, selling prices, time, and relationships between products like complements and substitutes. Perishable and growing items are especially sensitive to these factors, requiring models that can capture complex demand dependencies to derive ordering and pricing policies that optimize profitability and operational efficiency.

Key finding: Formulates an EOQ model where demand depends linearly on inventory stock levels and items are subject to deterioration and inflation effects. Employs numerical techniques to solve the convex cost optimization problem, showing... Read more
Key finding: Though not an EOQ model per se, the study empirically underscores the role of demand predictability and inventory practices on warehouse efficiency, implying that dynamic demand factors influence inventory management... Read more

Key finding: Extends growing item EOQ models by incorporating mortality functions and polynomial CO2 emission functions to capture environmental taxes and sustainability constraints. Provides analytical solution steps and numerical... Read more

3. What advanced decision-making and optimization methods can improve EOQ modeling under uncertainty, fuzzy environments, and supply disruptions?

This theme focuses on methodological advances and their application to EOQ models addressing uncertainty in parameters through fuzzy reasoning, handling supply chain disruptions such as spare parts shortages, and incorporating financial complexities like compound interest. These approaches seek to deliver more robust, realistic inventory policies accommodating uncertain or complex real-world conditions.

Key finding: Introduces fuzzy reasoning with L-fuzzy numbers and possibility theory to model EOQ parameters like holding, setup, backorder costs, and demand as fuzzy variables in a backorder inventory context. Proposes dual fuzzy... Read more
