Abstract: An offer of reduction in per unit purchasing cost which depends on purchasing quantity attracts and promotes the customers for bulk purchasing. But bulk purchasing of inventory also increase the distinct related costs such as deterioration and holding. In this model we have presented an inventory problem combining all these factors with ramp type demand and quantity discount under partial backlogging. The new launched electronic items and fashionable products follow a ramp-type function for demand. Initially the demand for such product rises with time, and it becomes constant after a certain time. Here, a mathematical model developed to analyse the suitable purchasing amount and to optimise the model. The model is demonstrated numerically, and a sensitivity analysis is also performed to validate the system.
