Abstract:

‎This paper proposes a multi-supplier multi-product inventory model in which the suppliers have unlimited production capacity, allow delayed payment, and offer either an all-unit or incremental discount. The retailer can delay payment until after they have sold all the units of the purchased product. The retailer’s warehouse is limited, but the surplus can be stored in a rented warehouse at a higher holding cost. The demand over a finite planning horizon is known. This model aims to choose the best set of suppliers and also seeks to determine the economic order quantity allocated to each supplier. The model will be formulated as a mixed integer and nonlinear programming model which is NP-hard and will be solved by using genetic algorithm (GA), simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, and vibration damping optimization (VDO) algorithm. Finally, the performance of the algorithms will be ‎compared.‎

Single supplier multiple cooperative retailers inventory model with quantity discount and permissible delay in payments

We consider in this paper an Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) problem involving a single supplier that offers quantity discounts and allows retailers to delay payments. The retailers are tempted to form coalitions in order to minimize their costs. We propose a solution approach that generates stable coalition structures for the retailers taking into account the delay in payments and the discount q...

Inventory 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...

an integrated supplier selection model considering permissible delay in payment

in the supplier selection problem considering both parties benefits including the buyer and the supplier, is one of the key factors to enhance the supply chain management performance as well as sustaining a long term relationship with the suppliers. in fact, the integrated supplier selection models have been discussed in order to confirm the aforementioned subject. in this research, an integrat...

A Periodic Review Inventory Model with Stock Dependent Demand, Permissible Delay in Payment and Price Discount on Backorders

In this paper we study a periodic review inventory model with stock dependent demand. When stock on hand is zero, the inventory manager offers a price discount to customers who are willing to backorder their demand. Permissible delay in payments allowed to the inventory manager is also taken into account. Numerical examples are cited to illustrate the model.

Multi-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...
