title = "Optimal replenishment policy for inventory systems with an unreliable supplier",
abstract = "In this paper, a mathematical model is developed for an inventory system, which orders replenishment from two external suppliers. One supplier is reliable which only delivers perfect quality items; the other supplier is unreliable which supplies some imperfect quality items. The inventory is capable of inspecting imperfect quality items. The average profit per unit time is formulated and a numerical method for obtaining the optimal replenishment policy is presented.",
