A Production-Distribution inventory model with shortages and unit cost dependent demand has been formulated along with possible constraints. In most of the real world situations, the cost parameters are imprecise in nature. Hence, the unit cost is imposed here in fuzzy environment. Due to complexity, the proposed model has been solved by LINGO software. The model is also solved for without shortages as the special case. The model is illustrated with a numerical example.

Abstract
A Production-Distribution inventory model with shortages and unit cost dependent demand has been formulated along with possible constraints. In most of the real world situations, the cost parameters are imprecise in nature. Hence, the unit cost is imposed here in fuzzy environment. Due to complexity, the proposed model has been solved by LINGO software. The model is also solved for without shortages as the special case. The model is illustrated with a numerical example.
Author Keywords: Fuzzy inventory model, warehouse location problem, triangular fuzzy number, membership function, secondary warehouse, LINGO software.
