Retail businesses must constantly evolve with new strategies introduced in order to meet and even to exceed customers’ expectations. This eﬀort can be enhanced by incorporating inspection processes in business routines that will maximize the eﬀectiveness of attempts to sell quality products. Further, permissible delay in payments has certainly been a prominent strategy in today’s business transactions, helping in gaining the ﬁnancial advantage for both the retailers and the suppliers. Moreover, in order to recognize the proper and exact timing of cash ﬂows associated with an inventory system, inﬂation and time value of money should also be incorporated. Considering all the above described real life aspects and problems, a model is formulated here to study the combined eﬀect of imperfect quality items, trade credit, shortages, inﬂation and time value of money on an inventory system. An analytical method is employed to jointly optimize the order quantity and the shortages. To study the behavior and application of the proposed model, a numerical example, including sensitivity analysis, has been analyzed. The potential applications, improving the decision making process of the model introduced can be found in industries like textile, footwear, plastics, electronics, etc.
