retailer’s replenishment and pricing decisions for non-instantaneous deterioration and price-dependent demand

In this research, an integrated inventory model for noninstantaneous deteriorating items is analyzed when demand is sensitive to changes in price. the price used in this research is a timedependent function of the initial selling price and the discount rate. to control the deterioration rate of items at the storage facility, investment in preservation technology is incorporated. to provide a general framework to the model, an arbitrary holding cost rate is used. toward the end of the paper, a numerical case is given to approve the model and the impacts of the key parameters of the model are studied by sensitivity analysis to deduce managerial insights.
