Some focus on coordination mechanisms while\nothers explore methodology and experience. Little research has\nattempted to bri dge these separate streams of research in a meaningful\nway. A proposal is made to use an independent and neutral third party\nto address the low ap plication rates of the many techniques available\nin the literature. A mod el is developed and payment options explored.\n\nTitle: An Economic Order Quantity Model for Items Experiencing Failure\nin Storage by Mikhail Sher\ , Seung-Lae Kim Presenter: Mikhail Sher\,\ndoctoral student in decision sc iences Abstract: In this paper\, an\nEconomic Order Quantity model for ite ms which experience failure\naccording to a probabilistic rate during the storage period is\ndeveloped. Prior research on item failure has primarily focused on\nitems which can be repaired or sold at a discount. Scenarios that\nassume repair and discounted sales\, however\, are impractical for\n systems where repair costs exceed or are equivalent to item costs and\nimp erfect items are unacceptable. Such cases are prevalent in the\nmedical an d electronics industries where defective items are largely\nunusable. The model presented in this paper is applicable to systems\nwith large fixed o rder costs and lengthy inventory holding periods.\nThe paper first develop s an Economic Order Quantity model for the\npresented framework. Illustrat ive numerical examples which demonstrate\nthe effects of certain model par ameter changes on optimal order\nquantity and firm profitability are then provided.
