A Replenishment inventory model for items under time-varying demand rates considering trade credit period and cash discount for a finite time horizon

Many researchers have developed various economic ordering quantity models by assuming an infinite time horizon and constant demand rate. However due to rapid technological advancement, shorter product life cycle and severe competition, those assumptions are no longer realistic. In this paper, we c...
