چکیده

This paper investigates the optimal inventory replenishment policy for an economic production quantity (EPQ) model with backordering, rework and machine breakdown taking place in stock piling time. A prior paper by Chiu has examined the lot-sizing problem on an imperfect quality EPQ model. Due to another reliability factor random machine breakdown seems to be inevitable in most real world manufacturing environments, and to deal with it the production planners must practically compute the mean time between failures (MTBF) and establish a robust production plan accordingly in terms of the optimal replenishment lot size that minimizes total production-inventory costs for such an unreliable system. This study extends Chiu’s work and incorporates a machine breakdown taking place in the stock piling stage into his model. The effects of random machine failure on optimal run time and on the long-run average costs are examined in this paper. Mathematical modeling and cost analysis are employed. The renewal reward theorem is utilized to cope with variable cycle length. Convexity of the long-run average cost function is proved and an optimal lot-size that minimizes the expected overall costs for such an imperfect system is derived. Numerical example is given to demonstrate its practical usage. Managers in the field can adopt this run time decision to establish their own robust production plan accordingly. Key-Words: Optimization, Run time, Breakdown, Lot size, Production, Backorder, Rework, Inventory

Optimal Batch Production for a Single Machine System with Accumulated Defectives and Random Rate of Rework

In this paper we consider an imperfect production system which produces good and defective items and assume that defective items can be reworked. Due to the nature of rework process we do not restrict the rework rate to be equal to normal production rate or constant and assume that it is a random variable with an arbitrary distribution function. We also assume as it is true in most real world s...

An Extension to the Economic Production Quantity Problem with Deteriorating Products Considering Random Machine Breakdown and Stochastic Repair Time

The recent advances in manufacturing systems motivate several studies to focus on Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) problem. Althuogh there are several extentions to the EPQ, this paper provides a new extension by considering some of the real world parameters like: (a) shortages in the form of partial backordering, (b) inventory can deteriorate stochastically, (c) machine can break down stocha...
