In this paper we study a periodic review inventory model with stock dependent demand. When stock on hand is zero, the inventory manager offers a price discount to customers who are willing to backorder their demand. Permissible delay in payments allowed to the inventory manager is also taken into account. Numerical examples are cited to illustrate the model.

Abstract: In this paper, we formulate a deteriorating inventory model with stock-dependent demand Moreover, it is assumed that the shortages are allowed and partially backlogged, depending on the length of the waiting time for the next replenishment. The objective is to find the optimal replenishment to maximizing the total profit per unit time. We then provide a simple algorithm to find the optimal replenishment schedule for the proposed model. Finally, we use some numerical examples to illustrate the model. Keywords- Inventory, Deteriorating items, Stock dependent demand, Partial backlogging
