Using simple methods to derive EOQ and EPQ models with shortage and imperfect quality

چکیده
Huang [ Journal of Statistics and Management Systems, Vol. 6 (2003), No. 2, pp. 171-180 ] studied the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) and EPQ (Economic Production Quantity) models with backlogging and defective items using the algebraic approach. He assumed 100% inspection policy and the known proportion of defective items was removed prior to storage or use after the screening process. In this paper, we will offer both basic inequalities, arithmetic-geometric mean inequality (AGM) and Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz inequality (CBS), to derive both the optimal lot size and backorder level under the total relevant cost per unit time minimized. Without the method of completing perfect square, the proposed methods derive the global minimum of the total relevant cost per unit time more easily than the algebraic approach used by Huang (2003).

EPQ model with scrap and backordering under Vendor managed inventory policy
This paper presents the economic production quantity (EPQ) models for the imperfect quality items produced with/without the presence of shortage condition. The models are presented in a two-level supply chain composed of a single manufacturer and a single buyer to investigate the performance of vendormanaged inventory (VMI) policy. The total costs are minimized to obtain the optimal production ...
متن کاملAn easy method to derive EOQ and EPQ inventory models with backorders
Cárdenas-Barrón (2010) applied algebraic methods to EOQ and EPQ models without referring to differential equations, allowing researchers without backgrounds in calculus to understand inventory models with ease. In this note, we point out that the derivation for EPQ model can be obtained by a transformation of the EOQ model and then we provide a further simplification of his approach such that f...
متن کاملAn inventory model with shortages for imperfect items using substitution of two products
Inventory models with imperfect quality items are studied by researchers in past two decades. Till now none of them have considered the effect of substitutions to cope up with shortage and avoid lost sales. This paper presents an EOQ approach for inventory system with shortages and two types of products with imperfect quality by one way substitution. Our model provides significant advantage for...
متن کاملOptimizing replenishment policy in an EPQ-based inventory model with nonconforming items and breakdown
a r t i c l e i n f o The optimal replenishment policy for an economic production quantity (EPQ)-based inventory model with nonconforming items and breakdown is presented. A real-life production system inevitably generates nonconforming items and has equipment breakdowns owing to process deterioration or other uncontrollable factors. This study addressed these issues in an EPQ-based system to o...
