Keywords:
Time dependent deterioration of units, Discounted cash flows (DCF), Trade creditAbstract
A time dependent deteriorating inventory model is developed for a deterministic inventory system with constant demand in the presence of trade credit. The discounted cash flows (DCF) approach is used for the problem analysis, which allows a proper recognition of the financial implication of the opportunity cost and out – of – pocket costs. It also permits an explicit algo rithm of the exact timing of cash – flows associated with an inventory system. A numerical example is considered to a give comprehensive sensitivity analysis of the developed model
