Our objective is to minimize the expected annual total cost under a restriction on the expected annual holding cost when the lead-time demand follows the normal distribution by using the Lagrangian method. Then a published special case is deduced and an illustrative numerical example is added.}, journal = {Journal of Mathematics and Statistics}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
