Note on minimax distribution free procedure for integrated inventory model with defective goods and stochastic lead time demand
نویسنده
چکیده
This note is a response to a paper of Ho that was published in Information and Management Sciences, 20 (2009), 161–171. We find two reasonable criteria to insure the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution. Based on the same numerical examples, if we directly compare our results with that by Ho, then the improvement is about 30%. Meanwhile, after revising the computation errors, then our analytical approach improves 4%. 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

An integrated vendor–buyer model with stochastic demand, lot-size dependent lead-time and learning in production
In this article, an imperfect vendor–buyer inventory system with stochastic demand, process quality control and learning in production is investigated. It is assumed that there are learning in production and investment for process quality improvement at the vendor’s end, and lot-size dependent lead-time at the buyer’s end. The lead-time for the first batch and those for the rest of the batches ...
متن کاملAn Integrated Inventory Model with Controllable Lead time and Setup Cost Reduction for Defective and Non-Defective Items
In this paper, the study deals with the lead time and setup reduction problem in the vendor-purchaser integrated inventory model. The cost of capital (i.e., opportunity cost) is one of the key factors in making the inventory and investment decisions. Lead time is an important element in any inventory system. The proposed model is presents an integrated inventory model with controllable lead tim...
متن کاملA Queuing Model for Stochastic Location-inventory Problem with Waiting Cost Considerations
This paper presents a three-level supply chain model which includes single supplier, several distribution centers and sets of retailers. For this purpose, by adopting the queuing approach, a mixed nonlinear integer programming model is formulated. The proposed model follows minimizing the total cost of the system by determining: 1) the number and location of distribution centers between candida...
متن کاملAn Integrated Supply Chain Inventory Model with Imperfect-quality Items, Controllable Lead Time and Distribution-free Demand
In this paper, we consider an integrated vendor-buyer inventory policy for a continuous review model with a random number of defective items and screening process gradually at a fixed screening rate in buyer’s arriving order lot. We assume that shortages are allowed and partially backlogged on the buyer’s side, and that the lead time demand distribution is unknown, except its first two moments....
متن کاملNote on Stochastic Inventory Models with Service Level Constraint
This note examines the inventory model with service level constraint in which the lead time, the reordered point and order quantity are treated as decision variables. The previous researchers believed that the objective function is concave in the lead time such that the minimummust occur on the boundary points of each sub-domain. In this note, we will show that their belief contains questionabl...
