Inventory as one of the most important parts of the supply chain has been paid attention by companies and academies. But most of recent researches on it are based on the hypothesis that the items can be stored infinitely without consideration of deterioration and devaluation of the items, which restricts the use of models in practice. So, based on the perishable items, a supply chain´s inventory-transportation optimal model meeting Pareto validity when carrying out price discount and transportation discount was established and finally it got an illustration to support the validity of models in reality.
