Abstract

Chapters 4 and 5 incorporates the financial issue into inventory management. More specifically, the cash on hand is characterized as the financial constraint. Besides cash, another state of the firm is receivable, which is mainly due to the delayed cash payment. In practice of a supply chain, it is common that downstream firms pay for upstream firms with certain delay. Actually, powerful retailers (e.g., Wal-Mart, Carrefour) usually delay up to 50% of their payments for several months. On the other hand, firms also offer potential customers some preferential choice to delay their payment. Installment plan is a common case for it.
