Constrained Probabilistic Lost Sales Inventory System with Normal Distribution and Varying Order Cost

Hala, A. Fergany, Mona and F. EL-Wakeel

Abstract

This study derives the probabilistic lost sales inventory system when the order cost is a function of the order quantity. Our objective is to minimize the expected annual total cost under a restriction on the expected annual holding cost when the lead-time demand follows the normal distribution by using the Lagrangian method. Then a published special case is deduced and an illustrative numerical example is added.
