An inventory model for deteriorating items with nonlinear holding cost

Without any doubt, inventory management is a key factor in success of any organization. By broadening our view when we look at organizations as workings cogs of society and the role they play in the society, we will appreciate the effect of their success on peaple live both directly and indirectly....
