Managing items with shelf life is a challenging task in inventory planning. In this study, we consider an infinite horizon, continuous review inventory model with deterministic stationary demand where the shelf life of the items is uncertain. The initial shelf life of the incoming items from the supplier is a discrete random variable. When the age of the items reaches the initial shelf life, a quality control test for which the outcome is random is applied. According to the result of this test, it is possible to use the items to satisfy demand for an additional time period. Moreover, we also study the supplier flexibilities which are modeled by including a return opportunity at the arrival of the items and the initial shelf life information received before the ordering decision. The aim is to minimize the total expected cost per unit time by using Renewal Theory in order to investigate value of extension test opportunity, value of return opportunity and value of shelf life information. Therefore, several settings are constructed and they are compared by conducting a numerical study.

Self examination for an Activity Planning and Progress Following Tool
Koktas, NS; Yalabik, N (2004-02-18)
This paper presents an overview of the design and implementation of an Activity Planning and Progress Following Tool (APT) for e-learning. APT is a software based support tool designed to assist learners with their self directed distance learning (SDDL). "Planning", "feedback" and "resources" are the important features of SDDL. APT was developed and implemented by adding corresponding features to a Learning Management Tool called Content Administration Tool (CAT), which was developed by another study.
Optimal pricing and ordering policy for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflation and customer returns
Ghoreishi, M.; Mirzazadeh, A.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01)
This paper deals with an economic production quantity inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflationary conditions considering customer returns. We adopt a price-and time-dependent demand function. Also, the customer returns are considered as a function of both price and demand. The effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. The main objective is to determine the optimal selling price, the optimal replenishment cycles, and the optimal produ...
A comparison of pure manufacturing and hybrid manufacturing–remanufacturing systems under carbon tax policy
Alegoz, Mehmet; Kaya, Onur; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin (2021-10-01)
Collection and remanufacturing of used products can be considered as one of the options to improve the sustainability of a manufacturing system. In this study, we focus on production and sustainability level decisions in pure manufacturing and hybrid manufacturing–remanufacturing systems and compare the systemwide performances and the performances of supply chain actors under different settings in terms of economic and environmental performance measures. We consider four settings as follows. In the first se...
A Method to decrease common problems in effort data collection in the software industry
Özkaya Eren, Ayşegül; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Efficient project planning and project management is crucial to complete the software projects in expected time and requirements. The most critical stage in project planning is estimation of the software size, time and budget. In this stage, effort data is used for benchmarking data sets, effort estimation, project monitoring and controlling. However, there are some problems related to effort data collection in the software industry. In this thesis, a pilot study and survey study are conducted to observe co...
Effect of Spare Parts Policy on Equipment ProductionLoss in Mining
Gölbaşı, Onur (2018-11-22)
Spare parts inventory in a mine incorporates various mechanical to electrical equipment components that need to be available in case of any repair, preventive maintenance, and/or revision on equipment. These parts are generally stored at the mine sites under a specific policy in such a way that any equipment production delay due to unavailability of the spare part is mitigated or prevented. Scope of such a policy may consider i) frequencies of different failure modes, ii) their contributions to equipment do...
