N. Rajeswari, K. Indirani . Supply Chain Inventory Model for Time Dependent Deteriorating Items, Variable Holding Cost and Trade Credit. International Conference on Innovation in Communication, Information and Computing 2013. ICICIC2013, 2 (March 2013), 23-26.
The objective of this paper is to formulate and determine the optimal replenishment policy for a retailer's EOQ model with time dependent deterioration and variable holding cost. Here two levels of trade credit policies in which the supplier offers the retailer a permissible delay period and the retailer in turn provides a maximal trade credit period to their customers in a supply chain system are considered. Some results have been developed to determine the optimal ordering policies for the retailer. These results help the retailer to take appropriate inventory decisions. A numerical example is used to highlight the application of the EOQ model. Sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution with respect to major parameters is carried out.
