A simple method to investigate retailer’s ordering policy for the EPQ model under trade credit derived without calculus

چکیده
Huang and Huang [International Journal of Systems Science, 39 (2008), 539-546] offered the algebraic approach to investigate the retailer’s replenishment policy under trade credit on the economic production quantity (EPQ) model. In this paper, we propose an arithmetic-geometric mean inequality method to simplify the algebraic method of completing perfect square established by Huang and Huang (2008) to find the optimal solution under the annual total relevant cost minimized. The proposed method is easy-to-understand and simple-to-use.

Optimal retailer's replenishment decisions in the EPQ model under two levels of trade credit policy
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal retailer’s replenishment decisions under two levels of trade credit policy within the economic production quantity (EPQ) framework. We assume that the supplier would offer the retailer a delay period and the retailer also adopts the trade credit policy to stimulate his/her customer demand to develop the retailer’s replenishment model ...

This paper investigates an EPQ model with the increasing demand and demand dependent production rate involving the trade credit financing policy, which is seldom reported in the literatures. The model considers the manufacturer was offered by the supplier a delayed payment time. It is assumed that the demand is a linear increasing function of the time and the production rate is proportional to ...

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal retailer’s replenishment decisions for deteriorating items under two levels of trade credit policy to reflect supply chain management situation within the economic production quantity (EPQ) framework. In this paper, it is assumed that the retailer maintains a powerful decision-making right and can obtain the full trade credit offered ...
متن کاملA Note on Retailer’s Ordering Policy and Payment Policy Under Trade Credit and Cash Discount
In this note, we modify the model of Huang [21] discussed with retailer’s ordering policy under conditions of cash discount and trade credit. Mathematical model has been modified for obtaining the optimal cycle time and optimal payment policy for item under cash discount and trade credit so that the annual total cost is minimized. Then, we provide a theorem to efficiently determine the optimal ...
