Stochastic Production Planning under Random Machine Breakdowns
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we consider a multi-period, multi-product production planning problem where the production rate and the customer service level are random variables due to machine breakdowns. In order to determine robust production plans, constraints are introduced in the stochastic capacitated lot-sizing problem to ensure that a prespecified customer service level is met with high probability. The probability of meeting a service level is evaluated by using the first passage time theory of a Wiener process to a boundary. A two-step optimization approach is proposed to solve the developed model. In the first step, the mean-value deterministic model is solved. Then, a method is proposed in the second step to improve the probability of meeting service level. The resulting approach has the advantage of not being a scenario-based one. It is shown that substantial improvements in service level robustness are often possible with minimal increases in expected cost.

This paper considers the impact of inflation on the EPQ model for deteriorating items subject to random machine breakdowns and fixed maintenance period. The demand rate is assumed to be a function of inflation and the demand increase due to inflation. The objective is to determine the optimal production uptime that minimizes the present value of expected total costs per unit time consisting o...

This paper considers the impact of random machine breakdowns on the classical Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model for a product subject to exponential decay and under a no-resumption (NR) inventory control policy. A product is manufactured in batches on a machine that is subject to random breakdowns in order to meet a constant demand over an infinite planning horizon. The product is assume...

This paper investigates the role of reliability parameter of the imperfect production system with random machine breakdown and stochastic repair time. Here I assume that shifting time of the production system from ‘in-control state’ to ‘out-control state’ and the time of machine breakdown are both random. Moreover, the machine repair time is stochastic and independent of the machine break-down ...

Our main objective is the modelling and simulation of complex production networks originally introduced in [15, 16] with random breakdowns of individual processors. Similar to [10], the breakdowns of processors are exponentially distributed. The resulting network model is of coupled system of partial and ordinary differential equations with Markovian switching and its solution is a stochastic p...

Multistage stochastic programming is a key technology for making decisions over time in an uncertain environment. One of the promising areas in which this technology is implementable, is medium term planning of electricity production and trading where decision makers are typically faced with uncertain parameters (such as future demands and market prices) that can be described by stochastic proc...
