backorders and lost sales for variable lead time," Journal of the Operational Research Society, vol.

Denote TB as the time period of

Our work in this paper considers a multi-item, multi-period CLSP with the considerations of
backorders and setup-times in its formulation.
In that model, they consider
backorders and constant defect rate in constant linier demand.
