چکیده
Recently, the enterprises, from a financial perspective, have been seeing that need of the integrating with others with trade credit policies as a promising issue for savings in the supply chain. In this direction, this paper establishes a new economic production quantity (EPQ) inventory model for deteriorating items under two levels of trade credit, in which the supplier offers to the retailer a permissible delay period and simultaneously the retailer in turn provides a maximal trade credit period to its customers in a supply chain system comprised of three stages. The purpose of this paper is to determine the optimal replenishment policy so that the total relevant cost is minimized. It is shown that this new EPQ inventory model forms a general framework that contains several inventory models that appear in some previous published articles. & 2014 Elsevier B.V.

An EOQ model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with two levels of storage under trade credit policy
A deterministic inventory model with two levels of storage (own warehouse and rented warehouse) with non-instantaneous deteriorating items is studied. The supplier offers the retailer a trade credit period to settle the amount. Different scenarios based on the deterioration and the trade credit period have been considered. In this article, we have framed two models considering single warehouse ...

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...

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 کاملDeveloping EOQ model with instantaneous deteriorating items for a Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) system
This paper studies the economic-order-quantity model (EOQ) for deteriorating items in two cases (with and without shortages) to evaluate how vendor managed inventory (VMI) affects supply chain. We consider two-level supply chain (single supplier and a single retailer) with one instantaneous deteriorating item. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are provided to illustrate the effect of...
