Joint Determination of the Production Lot Size and Number of Shipments for Epq Model with Rework
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with joint determination of the optimal lot size and optimal number of shipments for an economic production quantity (EPQ) model with the reworking of random defective items produced. The classic EPQ model assumes a continuous issuing policy for satisfying product demand and perfect quality production for all items produced. However, in a real life vendor-buyer integrated-productioninventory system, a multi-delivery policy is used practically in lieu of the continuous issuing policy, and it is inevitable to generate defective items during a production run. In this study, all nonconforming items produced are considered to be repairable and are reworked in each cycle after the end of a production run. The fixed-quantity multiple installments of the finished batch can only be delivered to customers if the whole lot is quality assured at the end of the rework. Mathematical modeling is used and the longrun average integrated cost per unit time is derived. Convexity of the cost function is proved by the use of the Hessian matrix equations. A closed-form optimal productionshipment policy to the problem is obtained. A special case to the model is discussed. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the model’s practical usage. Key Words–Multiple shipments; EPQ model; Rework; Lot sizing; Random defective rate; Manufacturing

Easy and Improved Algorithms to Joint Determination of the Replenishment Lot Size and Number of Shipments for an Epq Model with Rework
Recently, in Mathematical and Computational Applications Journal Chiu et al. [1] and Chen and Chiu [2] propose an inventory model based on EPQ with rework to determine the replenishment lot size and the number of shipments for a vendor-buyer integrated production-inventory system. They solve the inventory problem by considering both variables as continuous. However, the number of shipments must...

متن کاملOptimal lot size of EPQ model considering imperfect and defective products
The economic production quantity (EPQ) is a commonly used inventory model. An assumption in the EPQ model is that all units produced are perfect. Some researchers have studied the effects after relaxing this assumption on the inventory models. The objective of this paper is to determine the economic production quantity with reduced pricing, rework and reject situations in a single-stage system ...
