This paper extends Naddor's (T,Si) model: when purchasing ,ordering, carrying, and deteriorating, there are constant costs over the planning period which inflation is not consid- ered in desigining the inventory policy. Previously, Buzacott developed a modelling inflation that assume the constant inf- lation rate. Buzacott pointed two cases in the derivation inventory. First, the price is subject to the same inflation as cost, second, the price is dependent on the ordering poli- cy. The numerical examples have been considered based on two cases developed by Buzacott. Three sensitivity analyses have also been discussed here. The model developed in this paper can be utilized in inv- entory control on certain consumable goods, grains, photogra- phic films, electronic components, radio- activity materials and waste paper etc.
