In this paper, we develop a two-warehouse imperfect production model under two cases: (i) model starts with shortages (ii) model ends with shortages. Most of the researchers proposed the models for perfect items but we develop for imperfect quality items, which is very realistic. Demand is taken as time dependent and dependent on the production. Holding cost in rented warehouse (RW) is greater than own warehouse (OW). Deterioration is taken as Weibull distribution in both OW and RW. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. The effect of learning on production cost is also considered. Learning from one cycle to other cycle, improve the efficiency of the organization. A numerical example including the sensitivity analysis is given to validate the results of the production-inventory model.

This paper deals with the development of an inventory model for Weibull deteriorating items with constant demand when delay in payments is allowed to the retailer to settle the account against the purchases made. Shortages are not allowed and the salvage value is associated with the deteriorated units. In this paper, we consider two cases; those are for the case payment within the permissible time and for payment after the expiry of permissible time with interest. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate our results. Sensitivity analysis are carried out to analyze the effect of changes in the optimal solution with respect to change in one parameter at a time.
