AB  - This study presents a cost optimization model for multi-item inventory system having deterministic demansd. We assume that backlogging is allowed. The maximum capacity of the inventory is assumed to be constant Q<SUB>i</SUB>. The total annual variable cost is derived in terms of Q<SUB>i</SUB> and it is a non-linear function of Q<SUB>i</SUB>. First the deterministic inventory problem is solved using constrained optimization technique. In addition to the above, we assume that the total expenditure and floor space are not precisely measured function. A non-linear programming problem is formulated and solved by Lagrange multiplier method. Numerical examples are provided for deterministic inventory problem to emphasize the results in crisp.
