An inventory model continuous in units and time is developed for perishable items in a lot-size system that allows partially backlogging and partially lost saling. The model is developed under deterministic demand, instantaneous delivery with quantity discounts, and any well-behaved probability distribution for the time to perishables. An example is given to illustrate the model.
