Profit Maximization Multi-item Inventory Models Considering Trade Credit and Sales Learning Curve
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider a multi-item distribution channel subject to supplier’s credit period and retailer’s promotional effort with sales learning curve. We determine the retailer’s promotional effort for each item and the joint replenishment cycle in both decentralized and centralized decision models. We show that the profits for both parties increase under the centralized decision model when the credit period is kept within an appropriate range. The impacts of credit period and sales learning curve on the behavior of the channel are also discussed. We conclude with computation analyses that lead to a variety of management insights. Key WordsInventory, Sales learning curve, Promotion, Credit period

Retailer’s optimal credit period and cycle time in a supply chain for deteriorating items with up-stream and down-stream trade credits
In practice, the supplier often offers the retailers a trade credit period M and the retailer in turn provides a trade credit period N to her/his customer to stimulate sales and reduce inventory. From the retailer’s perspective, granting trade credit not only increases sales and revenue but also increases opportunity cost (i.e., the capital opportunity loss during credit period) and defau...

متن کاملOptimal pricing and replenishment policies for instantaneous deteriorating items with backlogging and trade credit under inflation
In this paper we develop an economic order quantity model to investigate the optimal replenishment policies for instantaneous deteriorating items under inflation and trade credit. Demand rate is a linear function of selling price and decreases negative exponentially with time over a finite planning horizon. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. Under these conditions, we model the ret...
متن کاملInventory Model for Deteriorating Items with Quadratic Time Dependent Demand under Trade Credits
In this paper, an EOQ model is developed for a deteriorating item with quadratic time dependent demand rate under trade credit. Mathematical models are also derived under two different situations i.e. Case I; the credit period is less than the cycle time for settling the account and Case II; the credit period is greater than or equal to the cycle time for settling the account. The numerical exa...
