Industrial Mathematics Final Year Topic: Replenishment Timing in an Inventory Model with Explicit Deterioration

This Industrial Mathematics final year project compares stock trajectories and cost under a stated continuous deterioration mechanism.

Why choose this project topic?

A focused study of perishable inventory gives you a specific question in inventory dynamics. It compares stock trajectories and cost under a stated continuous deterioration mechanism. The bounded comparison creates room to explain how your evidence supports an interpretation and where the method has limits.

How does a deterioration-rate assumption affect replenishment timing and waste in a bounded inventory model?

Agree the apparatus or dataset, comparison range and feasible measurement schedule for perishable inventory with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the materials, variables and comparison conditions for perishable inventory.
  2. 02Define the stock differential equation, demand process and replenishment rule.
  3. 03Evaluate the measurements or model outputs in relation to this question: How does a deterioration-rate assumption affect replenishment timing and waste in a bounded inventory model?

A suggested research approach

Define the stock differential equation, demand process and replenishment rule. Solve or numerically verify stock trajectories, account for all lost stock and compare total cost under prespecified deterioration scenarios. Agree the available resources and record uncertainty, deviations from the protocol and any observations that challenge the initial interpretation.

What you will need

  • A stated deterioration and demand model
  • A synthetic cost and replenishment basis
  • Differential-equation and optimisation tools

Keep your project scope clear

The modelled deterioration rate is not a measured shelf life and cannot establish food safety or product usability.
