This article presents one generalized order-level inventory system with fully permissible delay in payment in various trade-credit intervals. Review of existing literature nds few EOQ models under simultaneous considerations of time-dependent generalized demand rate, time-dependent generalized rate of deterioration and time-dependent generalized backordering under fully permissible delay in payment. In those existing studies, the optimal inventory depletion time is independent of demand over the entire cycle. Here, present article frames one generalized order level inventory system with fully permissible delay in payment across various trade-credit intervals. This nds that when the trade-credit period is longer than the inventory depletion time to settle the account, the optimal inventory depletion time is dependent of demand. Under this ambiance, one particular case having time-dependent ramp type demand rate, two variables time-dependent Weibull distribution rate of deterioration and time-dependent backordering rate with fully permissible delay in payment, nds that the optimal inventory depletion time varies inversely over demand in that period. Moreover, the proposed model shrinks to obtain many well-established EOQ models as the special cases to it. Next, a general algorithm determines the various optimal solutions corresponding to seven cases. The managerial insights extracted from sensitivity analysis of parameters include the suggestion to halt the promotional activities so as to foreshorten the demand in shortage period. Also, this analysis attests that the longer waiting period of retailers should be counterbalanced with various promotional activities and anticipated benefits.

An inventory system for deteriorating products, with ramp-type demand rate, under two-level trade credit policy is considered. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. Sufficient conditions of the existence and uniqueness of the optimal replenishment policy are provided, and an algorithm, for its determination, is proposed. Numerical examples highlight the obtained results, and sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution with respect to major parameters of the system is carried out.

This chapter develops an economic order quantity model for deteriorating items with initial inspection, allowable shortage under the condition of permissible delay in payment by fuzzify the demand rate, deterioration rate and inspection parameter of non-defective parameter based on as triangular fuzzy numbers to fit the real word. The total fuzzy cost function has been defuzzified using signed distance and centroid method. Comparison between these two methods has also been discussed. The validity of the model has been established with the help of a hypothetical numerical example.

In the traditional inventory system, it was implicitly assumed that the buyer pays to the seller as soon as he receives the items. In today’s competitive industry, however, the seller usually offers the buyer a delay period to settle the account of the goods. Not only the seller but also the buyer may apply trade credit as a strategic tool to stimulate his customers’ demands. This paper investigates the effects of the latter policy, two-level trade credit, on a retailer’s optimal ordering decisions within the economic order quantity framework and allowable shortages. Unlike most of the previous studies, the demand function of the customers is considered to increase with time. The objective of the retailer’s inventory model is to maximize the profit. The replenishment decisions optimally are obtained using genetic algorithm. Two special cases of the proposed model are discussed and the impacts of parameters on the decision variables are finally investigated. Numerical examples demonstrate the profitability of the developed two-level supply chain with backorder.

An inventory system for deteriorating items, with ramp-type demand rate, under two-level trade credit policy taking account of preservation technology is considered. The objective of this study is to develop a deteriorating inventory policy when the supplier provides to the retailer a permissible delay in payments, and during this credit period, the retailer accumulates the revenue and earns interest on that revenue; also the retailer invests on the preservation technology to reduce the rate of product deterioration. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. Sufficient conditions of the existence and uniqueness of the optimal replenishment policy are provided, and an algorithm, for its determination, is proposed. Numerical examples draw attention to the obtained results, and the sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution with respect to leading parameters of the system is carried out.

An order level inventory model for seasonable/fashionable products subject to a period of increasing demand followed by a period of level demand and then by a period of decreasing demand rate (three branches ramp type demand rate) is considered. The unsatisfied demand is partially backlogged with a time dependent backlogging rate. In addition, the product deteriorates with a time dependent, namely, Weibull, deterioration rate. The model is studied under the following different replenishment policies: (a) starting with no shortages and (b) starting with shortages. The optimal replenishment policy for the model is derived for both the above mentioned policies.
