This paper deals with an inflation induced stock dependent demand inventory model with permissible delay in payments. In real life situations, some products maintain freshness and quality for some time. This inventory model is developed for non-instantaneous deteriorating items. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the optimal policies for maximizing the total profits. Numerical examples are ...

In most inventory models it is assumed that the parameters of the model do not vary with time, and that the payment of orders from the retailer to the supplier is made immediately up on the receipt of these orders. Some suppliers, however, allow a certain fixed period to settle payment accounts. During this fixed period no interest is charged by the supplier, but beyond that period an interest,...

In practices, the supplier may simultaneously offer the customer: (1) a permissible delay in payments to attract new customers and increase sales, and (2) a cash discount to motivate faster payment and reduce credit expenses. Since all cash outflows related to inventory control that occur at different points of time have different values, we use the discount cash-flow (or DCF) approach to esta...

In this paper, Economic Order Quantity ( ) based model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with imperfect quality, permissible delay in payments and inflation is proposed. We adopt a time-dependent demand function. Also, the effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. Moreover, we assume that orders may contain a random proportion of defective items...

Abstract -In this paper, we developed a fuzzy optimal replenishment policy for Inventory models of Weibull Deterioration items with Ramp type Demand under permissible delay in payments. Deterioration of items begins on their arrival in stock. The shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. All the inventory costs involved in this model are taken as triangular fuzzy numbers. Replenishment cy...

An inventory problem for a deteriorating item having two separate warehouses is developed under time value of money, whereby one is an own warehouse (OW) of finite dimension(s) and the other is rented warehouse (RW) of infinite dimension(s). Deterioration rate of items in the two warehouses may be different, which is time dependent and deterioration is in the mean beta distribution form. In thi...

This study presents an inventory model to determine an optimal ordering policy for non-deteriorating items and timedependent demand rate with delay in payments permitted by the supplier under inflation and time discounting. Mathematical models have been derived under two different situations, i.e. Case I: The permissible delay period is less than or equal to replenishment cycle period for settl...

The allocation of cost savings is very important for the success of the joint relationship between the buyer and vendor in supply chain management. This paper develops integrated models with permissible delay in payments for determining the optimal replenishment time interval and replenishment frequency. In addition, the variant pricing strategy is employed to obtain both sides’ cost savings in...
