Abstract

Effective inventory management is crucial for businesses dealing with perishable or deteriorating goods. This research article examines various inventory models that account for time-dependent demand, price fluctuations, and product deterioration. By synthesizing findings from multiple studies by Sharma and colleagues (2015–2024), this paper explores key strategies for optimizing stock levels, minimizing costs, and improving supply chain efficiency. The analysis highlights the importance of dynamic pricing, fractional backlogging, and demand forecasting in inventory control systems. Practical implications for retailers, manufacturers, and logistics managers are discussed, along with future research directions.
