Supply chain forms a very important aspect of a firm’s operations. The rules of supply chain management change significantly while dealing with perishable items. Perishable products forms a large portion of total inventory and include virtually all foodstuffs, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, fashion goods, electronic items, periodicals (newspapers/magazines), dig- ital goods (computer software, video games, DVD) and many more. There are many goods that either deteriorate and/or become obsolete in the course of time. This paper presents the relation between reserve inventory & deterioration rate on profit. The methodology relaxes with the condition of zero stock (make to order) at the end of cycle & maintains reserve stock. Under Standard assumptions of single product, instantaneous replenishment with zero lead time, and constant deterioration rate. Study says that profit decreases with reserve inventory; deterioration rate has pronounced impact on order quantity and profit as compared to inventory dependent demand factor.
