Trade credit financing is increasingly recognized as an important strategy to increase profitability in Inventory Management. We revisit an economic order quantity model under conditionally permissible delay in payments, in which the supplier offers the retailer a fully permissible delay of M...

In practice, vendors (or sellers) often offer their buyers a fixed credit period to settle the account. The benefits of trade credit are not only to attract new buyers but also to avoid lasting price competition. On the other hand, the policy of granting a permissible delay adds not only an...

In today's competitive markets, most firms in United Kingdom and United States offer their products on trade credit to stimulate sales and reduce inventory. Trade credit is calculated based on time value of money on the purchase cost (i.e., discounted cash flow analysis). Recently, many...

In a recent paper, Soni and Shah (2008) presented an inventory model with a stock-dependent demand under progressive payment scheme, assuming zero ending-inventory and adopting a cost-minimization objective. However, with a stock-dependent demand a non-zero ending stock may increase profits...

Soni 2013. Int. J. Prod. Econ., 146 (1), 259–268 proposed optimal replenishment policies for non-instantaneous deteriorating items (i.e., the product starts deteriorating after a period of no-deterioration) with price and stock sensitive demand. With a stock-dependent demand, it is desirable...

In this paper an inventory control system for deteriorating items with price and time-dependent demand is studied. The majority of the existing literature in inventory systems for deteriorating items, deals with items that are subject to deterioration as soon as they enter the warehouse....

Wu et al. [2006. An optimal replenishment policy for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with stock-dependent demand and partial backlogging. International Journal of Production Economics 101, 369-384] established an inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with...

In this paper, we extend Teng, J.T., Chang, H.J., Dye, C.Y., Hung, C.H. [2002. An optimal replenishment policy for deteriorating items with time-varying demand and partial backlogging. Operations Research Letters 30(6), 387-393.] and Hou, K.L. [2006. An inventory model for deteriorating items...

For a finite planning horizon, there has been a considerable body of research papers in the area of operations management that dealt with four different inventory shortage models in the last two decades. In this paper, we establish the models to reflect the fact that the longer the waiting time,...
