Effects of ‎N‎onstationary and Uncertain Demand on an Inventory System Under Belief Structure Condition

This paper presents a new inventory model for deteriorating items, allowable shortages, and stochastic inflationary conditions, considering a belief-rule-base inventory control (BRB-IC) method. This is a new insight in comparison with the previous research, which considers a belief-rule-based inventory control under nonstationary demand. The Genetic Algorithm and exact methods have been considered for minimizing the objective function. The numerical example and a sensitivity analysis provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
