Abstract
The article investigates a deterministic inventory system with two-com ponent demand rate. The demand rate is stock-dependent down to a certa in level and then constant. Shortages are allowed and are fully backlo gged. The storage space is assumed to be limited. A flowchart is provi ded to solve a general system. To study the effects of changes in the system parameters on the average net profit a sensitivity analysis has been performed.
