1 Introduction
2 Conceptual framework
RQ1. Which background or supply chain context most characterizes inventory models for ameliorating and/or deteriorating items? Which type of Supply Chain Structure has been considered? And which actors are mainly involved?RQ2. Which are the most relevant peculiarities and characteristics of this class of items? Which types of products (e.g., wine, cheese, etc.) are mostly studied in the developed models? And finally, how it is modelled the amelioration and/or deterioration rate?RQ3. What environmental or contextual conditions are most favorable to supply chain finance? Which financial practices are most prevalent? Which impacts do they have on supply chains, and which are the implications for inventory management?RQ4. Has any case study been conducted? Or only numerical examples are presented?
