Sumario:One of the main challenges in e-commerce is how to calculate the maximum acceptable time for response to the customer from the business firms. This case has a direct impact on many business concepts such as customer loyalty, satisfaction, and trust. In this paper, a mathematical model is presented to calculate the maximum acceptable time. In this regard, based on a set of functions, while investigating factors affecting the business from customer’s perspective, this mathematical model has the ability to use in any kind of B2C-based e-commerce system due to the consideration of the partial elongation set between elements that affect time transparency. The business using this function and managing the elements that affect this function is able to manage its operations in a way that conducts business activities in accordance with client time estimates.
