Carlson, Marvin L.; Miltenburg, G. John; Rousseau, John J. Economic order quantity and quantity discounts under date-terms supplier credit: A discounted cash flow approach. (English) Zbl 0852.90060 J. Oper. Res. Soc. 47, No. 3, 384-394 (1996). Summary: This paper examines economic order quantity and optimal order quantity under both all-units and incremental-quantity discounts when purchase cost, order cost, and carrying cost are all incurred on date-terms supplier credit. Payment dates for the three cost components need not be the same. The traditionally-used periodic-cost minimization methodology which is insensitive to differences in the timing of various within-period cash flows is replaced with a discounted cash flow methodology. Differences in the characteristics of day-terms and date-terms solutions to the quantity discount case are high-lighted.
