Abstract

Recent breakthroughs in Business-to-Business (B2B) trade have opened new avenues for value creation in financial supply chains. Based on supply chain event triggers, innovative financing is being provided at different points of the supply chain. This new phenomenon, termed Supply Chain Finance (SCF), is transforming Working Capital Management (WCM). In this study, we focus on payables management of a buying firm in a supply chain with an SCF-enabled early payment program in place. A stochastic dynamic programming model is developed and the value of the SCF-enabled early payment program under varying future cash flows is ascertained through extensive numerical analysis.
