Strategic decisions in an imperfect quality and inspection scenario under two-stage credit financing with order overlapping approach
作者：
Highlights：
• This paper develops a tri-tier supply chain model where the consignment received is unreliable.
• The consignment is first screened for defects where screening, realistically, is error-prone.
• Demand during screening period is fulfilled from the perfect items of the previous order cycle.
• Wholesaler receives a full credit by the manufacturer and offers a partial credit to retailer.
• Optimal replenishment policy is derived which serves as a reckoner for the operations manager.
