Abstract

This research work derives an economic production quantity (EPQ) model, and in order to make it a bit close to reality, the stockout is allowed, and this is completely backordered. In addition to this feature, it is incorporated a two-level credit scheme when both supplier and retailer are giving a delay in payment to their respective customers with the aim of enhancing the sales. The inventory model is modeled as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem, and this is resolved by the generalized reduced gradient method (GRG). Moreover, to exemplify and certify the inventory model, five instances are given and solved. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is made for studying the influence of variations of input parameters, modifying one parameter and maintaining the others at their initial input values.
