  1. Basic Inventory Models: Part IV: Models for Multiple Items and Constraints

    Authors: Shukla, P R;

    Reference No: PROD0175(D)TEC Pages: 12 Published on: 1, January, 1982

    Abstract: Discusses the models for determining Economic Order Quantities (EOQs) for items in a multi?item situation with constraints. The derivation of EOQs for items under the constraint of average total investment in inventories is given. The EOQs for items where there is a constraint on total workload (i.e., number ... More

  3. Basic Inventory Models Part II: Economic Batch Quantity (EBQ) Models

    Authors: Shukla, P R;

    Reference No: PROD0175(B)TEC Pages: 6 Published on: 1, January, 1982

    Abstract: Discusses the Economic Batch Quantity (EBQ) model with uniform, deterministic and finite production rate and demand. The EBQ, which minimizes the total annual cost comprising setup cost, and inventory holding cost is derived. The operation of EBQ system under non?zero constant lead time is discussed. Finally, a brief discussion ... More

  8. A Methodology for Estimating Production Potentialities of an Area

    Authors: Singh, Gurudev;

    Reference No: CMA0578 Pages: 9 Published on: 1, January, 1983

    Abstract: Attempts to present a methodology for estimating production potentialities of an area based on analysis of micro production units. Aggregation model was developed to obtain population parameters such that contribution of changes in production technology could be estimated. The methodology also involves the adjustments for some variables such as size ... More

  9. Capital Investment Analysis: Correct Definitions of Cash Flows and Cost of Capital

    Authors: Pandey, I M;

    Reference No: F&A0361TEC Pages: 7 Published on: 1, January, 1983

    Abstract: This note compares the conventional and the Arditti-Levy methods of measuring cash flows and discount rate. It proves that the conventional method is consistent with the wealth maximizing principle. ... More

  11. Computation of Economic Costs and Benefits

    Authors: Singh, Gurudev;

    Reference No: CMA0613TEC Pages: 6 Published on: 1, January, 1985

    Abstract: Financial costs and returns are converted into economic costs and benefits by using shadow pricing factors. This note describes the assumptions which form the basis of shadow pricing factors for different cost and revenue items. It also estimates these factors for some important items along with the economic values. ... More
