ABSTRACT
In this paper, we have formulated an inventory model with time dependent holding cost, selling price as well as time dependent demand. Multi-item inventory model has been considered under limitation on storage space. Due to uncertainty all the require cost parameters are taken as generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number. Our proposed multi-objective inventory model has been solved by using fuzzy programming techniques which are FNLP, FAGP, WFNLP and WFAGP methods. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the application of the model. Finally to illustrate the model and sensitivity analysis and graphical representation have been shown.
Keywords: Inventory, Deterioration, Multi-item, Generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number, Fuzzy programming technique.

INTRODUCTION
Inventory model deals with decisions
that minimize the total average cost or maximize the total average profit. In
that way to construct a real life mathematical inventory model on base on
various assumptions, notations and approximations.
In ordinary inventory system
inventory costs i.e set-up cost, holding cost, deterioration cost, etc. are
taken fixed amount but in real life inventory system these costs are not always
fixed. So consideration of fuzzy variable is more realistic and interesting.
The inventory problems for deteriorating item such as fashionable items, electronics products, fruits, and green vegetables, and many others and the deterioration is defined as the spoilage, damage, dryness, vaporization etc. This results in decrease of usefulness of the commodity. Inventory problem for deteriorating items have been widely studied by many researchers. The economic order quantity model was first introduced in February 1913 by Harris.
Ghare and Schrader (1963) was the first to establish an economic order quantity (EOQ) model for deteriorating items. Then Covert and Philip (1973) extended their research work by presenting a variable rate of deterioration. Later, there are many papers presented on the deteriorating inventory, such as Sridevi et al. (2010), Bhunia and Shaikh (2014), and Ghosh, Sarkar and Chaudhuri (2015) etc. Kumar, et. al (2016) presented on Optimization of Weibull deteriorating items inventory model under the effect of price and time dependent demand with partial backlogging. Yang, H.L discussed on two warehouse partial backlogging inventory model for deteriorating items under inflation.
Yu-Chung Tsao, Gwo-Ji-Sheen (2008) studied on dynamic pricing promotion and replenishment policies for a deteriorating item under permissible delay in payments. Yang (2016) studied on two warehouse partial backlogging inventory model for deteriorating items under inflation. Liang and Zhou (2011) discussed on a two warehouse inventory model for deteriorating items under conditionally permissible delay in Payment.
The demand of an inventory item depends on the price is the most important in real life. Therefore the inventory system should incorporate the selling price as a decision variable. Bhunia and Shaikh (2014) presented a paper on deterministic inventory model for deteriorating items with selling price dependent demand and three-parameter Weibull distributed deterioration. Alfares and Ghaithan (2016) formulated on inventory and pricing model with price-dependent demand, time-varying holding cost, and quantity discounts.
Shah et. al (2009) studied on a lot size inventory model for the Weibull distributed deterioration rate with discounted selling price and stock-dependent demand. Sridevi et. al (2010) discussed on Inventory model for deteriorating items with Weibull rate of replenishment and selling price dependent demand. The limitation of the space of the inventory item is the most important factor in the business management system.
Ghosh (2015) presented a paper on a multi-item inventory model for deteriorating items in limited storage space with stock-dependent demand. Islam and Mandal (2017), discussed fuzzy E.O.Q model with constant demand and shortages in a fuzzy signomial geometric programming (FSGP) approach. Mondal et. al (2003) formulated on an inventory system of ameliorating items for price dependent demand rate.
The concept of fuzzy set theory was first introduced by Zadeh in 1965. Afterward Zimmermann (1985) applied the fuzzy set theory concept with some useful membership functions to solve the linear programming problem with some objective functions. Then the various ordinary inventory model transformed to fuzzy versions model by various authors such as Roy and Maity (1995) presented on fuzzy inventory model with constraints.
Islam and Roy (2006) studied on a fuzzy EPQ model with flexibility and reliability consideration and demand depended unit production cost under a space constraint. Islam and Mandal (2017) discussed on fuzzy inventory model (EOQ model) with unit production cost, time depended holding cost, without shortages under a space constrain in a fuzzy parametric geometric programming (FPGP) approach. Maity (2008) developed a paper on fuzzy inventory model with two ware house under possibility measure in fuzzy goal. Roy (2014) presented on fuzzy inventory model for deteriorating items with price dependent demand.
In this paper, we have considered demand rate is depended on selling price as well as time and holding cost is time dependent. Multi-item inventory has been considered under limitation on storage space. Due to uncertainty all the required cost parameters are taken as generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number. The formulated multi objective inventory model has been solved by using FNLP, FAGP, WFNLP and WFAGP methods. A numerical example is considered to illustrate the model. Finally sensitivity analysis and graphical figures have been shown.

MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS
3.1.
Ranking
fuzzy numbers with respect to their total integral value.
Ranking fuzzy number is an important
aspect of decision making in a fuzzy environment.
In reality, decision-makers having different viewpoints will give different
ranking outcomes under the same situation. Bortolan and Degani (1985) studied
the number of methods for ranking fuzzy numbers. Liou and Wang (1992) proposed
a relatively simple computation and easily understood method.
Let
be a pre-assigned
parameter which is called the degree of optimism. The graded mean value (or,
total -integer value) of
generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number (GTrFN) is discussed below.
A
fuzzy number is called generalized
trapezoidal fuzzy number (GTrFN) if its membership function is given by
The
total integer value of is given as
, where are the left and right interval values ofrespectively. Where
Now, &
So
the left & right interval values are

optimistic viewpoint. When we get which reflects a
pessimistic point of view. When the total-integral value is

CONCLUSIONS
In
this paper, we have developed a real life inventory model in which time
dependent holding cost, selling price as well as time dependent demand.
Multi-item inventory has been considered under limitation on storage space.
First crisp model is formed then it transferred to the fuzzy model due to
uncertainty of cost parameters. All fuzzy cost parameters are taken as generalized
trapezoidal fuzzy number. The proposed multi-objective inventory model is
solved by using FNLP, FAGP, WFNLP and WFAGP methods.
In
the future study, it is hoped to further incorporate the proposed model into
more realistic assumption, such as probabilistic demand, introduce shortages
etc. Also other type of membership functions
like as triangular fuzzy number, Parabolic flat Fuzzy Number (PfFN), Parabolic Fuzzy Number (pFN) etc. can be used to form the fuzzy
model.
