Abstract

Lee [Lee J-Y (2008). Quantity discounts based on the previous order in a two-period inventory model with demand uncertainty. Journal of Operational Research Society 59: 1004-1011] previously examined quantity discount contracts between a manufacturer and a retailer in a stochastic, two-period inventory model in which quantity discounts are provided on the basis of the previous order size. In this paper, we extend the above two-period model to a k-period one (where k > 2) and propose a stochastic nonlinear mixed binary integer program for it. With the k-period model developed herein, we suggest a solution procedure of receding horizon control style to solve n-period (n > k) order decision problems.
