Abstract
This paper presents a complete and up-to-date survey of published inventory literature for the deteriorating (decaying) inventory models. More specifically, those papers are addressed that consider the effect of deterioration as a function of the on-hand level of inventory. The basic features, extensions and generalization of various models are discussed. A classification scheme is presented along with suggestions for future research.
