The paper deals with both infinite and finite time-horizon inventory models for deteriorating items assuming the demand rate at any instant of time to be a linear function of the on-hand inventory at that instant. To make the model more realistic, shortages have been assumed which are fully backlogged. Two numerical examples have been added to illustrate the results.
