Holding cost

After all, we have formulated mathematically the problem as a mixed-integer programming problem stated below. The objective function is composed of the total transportation cost between every facility, the total production cost at plant, and the total operational cost at each facility, the total holding cost at DC over the planning horizon, and the total fixed-charge for the open DCs. 

Some similar components may be left behind if a purely electronic timer is involved. In this instance a metal chassis may not be used, since amateur builders and experimenters often bread-board their layouts that is, they build them on the surface of an ordinary piece of wood in order to speed construction and to hold costs to a minimum. In this case, the wood might burn completely and this would be advantageous to the arsonist. Resistors and capacitors would also be used in this type of circuit, although they would not be as well protected as they would be in a regular commercial unit- Parts of the relays might be in evidence, and the toggle switch may be expected to retain most of its original characteristics. 

Cold-storage holding costs can be estimated as follows ... 

The total cost—setup cost plus holding cost—per time unit is XC/Q + hQ/2, where X/Q is the number of orders placed per time unit. Note that we have ignored the variable cost, the cost for purchasing the units, since this term is independent of the decision variable Q. It is equal to cA per time unit, with c being the purchasing cost per unit. The Q that minimizes this cost objective is Q = /2XCIh, which is easily derived from setting the derivative of the cost objective (with respect to 0 to zero. The square-root order quantity is often referred to as EOQ as well. 

EOQ (economic order quantity) Q, = S/2CE(D,)lh, the classical EOQ formula (refer to Section 1.1), where C is a fixed cost for placing a replenishment order, and h is the inventory holding cost per period. 

The context is the following An inventory mtmager faces a constant demand rate that has to be satisfied from inventory. Ordering costs entail a fixed cost per order. Inventory held in the system incurs a holding cost. An inventory policy determines the quantity and frequency of orders. Each inventory policy has an associated cost to the organization. The two components of an inventory policy are ...

These dresses are bought for 100 and sell for 200. If A ORT runs out of dresses, the future profit impact is estimated to be 200. Dresses that are held through the fashion season incur a holding cost of 20. Those dresses that do not sell during the season are sold to an outlet store for 40.

Typically, it can be assumed that the market value of (basic) chemicals increases with passing more processing steps. Hence, stock holding costs increase, too. The net demand rates provided in tons per day for Naphtha, Pygas, and Benzene under normal processing conditions can be found in Table 3.9 accompanied by stock holding cost rates in per ton...

The indicator k (p, h, b, i) is a tuple representing the considered cost categories where p indicates pumping costs, h indicates inventory holding costs, b indicates backorder costs, and i indicates interface costs. Note that not all cost categories are considered in all... 

The hterature referred to in Table 3.12 aims at minimizing the total operational costs for a planning period. Most works take stock holding costs, pumping costs, and costs for reprocessing the interface into account. Two exceptions are noteworthy MirHassani (2008) and Cafaro and Cerda (2008). 

In contrast, in Rejowski and Pinto (2008) the speed of pumping is a decision variable which leads to a non-linear term in the objective function since both pump rate and batch length have to be determined. Furthermore, this work is noteworthy as it explicitly accounts for the inventory holding costs, but at the expense of another non-linear term in the objective function. Note that the time-continuous formulation requires that both the period s length and the tank level in a period are decision variables. The product of these terms determines the holding costs. Cafaro and Cerda (2004, 2008) approximate the holding costs by averaging the stock levels at the depots.
