Integrated inventory models considering permissible delay in payment and variant pricing strategy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The allocation of cost savings is very important for the success of the joint relationship between the buyer and vendor in supply chain management. This paper develops integrated models with permissible delay in payments for determining the optimal replenishment time interval and replenishment frequency. In addition, the variant pricing strategy is employed to obtain both sides’ cost savings in order to entice buyers to join long-term cooperative relationships. A simple solution algorithm is presented to allocate the cost savings in the integration model, and a numerical example is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed integration models. 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Coordination of R&D Effort, Pricing, and Periodic Review Replenishment Decisions in a Green Supply Chain through a Delay in Payment Contract
This study contributes to the literature on supply chain coordination by coordinating the research and development (R&D) effort, retail price, and inventory decisions. It investigates a real case in the home appliance industry. The main purpose of this study is to examine the optimal values of R&D effort, pricing, and inventory decisions under decentralized and centralized structures. Then, a d...
متن کاملInventory model with composed shortage and permissible delay in payment linked to order quantity
In today’s business transactions, it is frequently observed that a customer is allowed some grace period (permissible delay in payment) before settling the account with the supplier or producer. This policy is advantageous both for the supplier and customer since supplier attracts more customers and customer does not have to pay any interest during this fixed period either. In this paper, the r...
متن کاملMulti-item inventory model with probabilistic demand function under permissible delay in payment and fuzzy-stochastic budget constraint: A signomial geometric programming method
This study proposes a new multi-item inventory model with hybrid cost parameters under a fuzzy-stochastic constraint and permissible delay in payment. The price and marketing expenditure dependent stochastic demand and the demand dependent the unit production cost are considered. Shortages are allowed and partially backordered. The main objective of this paper is to determine selling price, mar...
متن کاملAn Inventory Model for Obsolescence Items with Consideration of Permissible Delay in Payments (Case Study of Obsolete Medicines in Pharmacies)
Background and Objectives: In the real world, the obsolescence items are some items that lose their value over time due to the emergence of new technology. Because of rapid changes in technology, inventory management of such items is considered in recent years. Moreover, suppliers try to encourage the retailers for purchasing an item before it is outmoded with some policies suc...
متن کاملOptimal Ordering Policy with Stock-Dependent Demand Rate under Permissible Delay in Payments
We develop an inventory model to determine optimal ordering policy under permissible delay in payment by considering demand rate to be stock dependent. Mathematical models are derived under two different cases: credit period being greater than or equal to cycle time for settling the account, and credit period being less than or equal to cycle time for settling the account. The results are illus...
