چکیده

This paper considers a two-level supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and two buyers. The manufacturer produces one type of products at a finite rate and replenishes them to the buyers. Each buyer’s demand is sensitive to his selling price and the backorder is allowed at the buyers. Moreover, it is assumed that the buyers delay paying for goods to the manufacturer and two types of delay in payment are considered; delay paying for the purchased items till they are used or sold to the end customers, and delay paying till the next replenishment order. The main aim of this research is formulating the manufacturer and the buyers’ problems in terms of integer-ratio policy and discounted cash flow under these two types of delay in payment. Keywords— Consignment inventory, delay in payment, discounted cash flow, trade credit, two-echelon supply chain.
