Combined Optimal Price and Optimal Inventory Ordering Policy with Income Elasticity
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present paper, the effect of income elasticity on demand has been considered and the buyers optimal special order quantity and optimal time has been determined, when supplier reduces sale price then buyer may offer a discount to push his sale to increase his profit margin. Income elasticity effect in inventory analysis has been introduced to obtain the gain equation to find the optimal special order quantity and profit associated with it when remnant inventory is zero. The profit and optimal order quantity are also derived when remnant inventory is finite. The cost of saving was also determined when due to inflation rise in the sale price is imminent. Finally optimal inventory ordering policy has been discussed to get maximum profit.

A Single Supplier Procurement Model With Random Yield
In this paper, we develop a procedure for selecting a supplier. Suppliers are characterized by their lead time, price and quality (random yield). Each purchased item is acceptable with a given probability and independent of the others. We assume the demands are deterministic with no set-up cost and backordering is allowed. For each supplier, an optimal ordering policy is developed. We prove the...

In this paper we introduce the optimal solution for a simple and yet practical inventory policy with the important characteristic which eliminates the uncertainty in demand for suppliers. In this new policy which is different from the classical inventory policies, the time interval between any two consecutive orders is fixed and the quantity of each order is one. Assuming the fixed ordering cos...

متن کاملInventory, Periodic Discounts, and the Timing Effect
We consider the joint pricing and inventory control problem for a single product whose demand distribution in each period is determined both by whether or not a sale price is offered in the current period, and the number of periods since the last time the sale price was offered. We show that optimal inventory ordering policy is a state dependent base stock policy; however, the optimal pricing p...
