This paper considers a replenishment policy of deteriorating product w
here demand declines exponentially over a fixed time horizon. Deterior
ation is assumed to be a constant fraction of the total on-hand invent
ory and complete backordering of demand is assumed. An extension of th
e model for partial backordering is illustrated. Numerical results for
complete backordering are provided and a comparison of policies is ma
de. It is indicated that when shortage is allowed, the model leads to
lower average total cost.
