Two Easy To Apply Solution Procedures To The Determination Of Production-Shipment Policy
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the determination of production-shipment policy for an integrated vendor-buyer system. The inventory model contains two decision variables: the replenishment lot size and the number of deliveries. This paper solves the inventory model considering two cases: 1) the replenishment lot size as continuous variable and the number of shipments as discrete variable, and 2) the replenishment lot size and the number of shipments as discrete variables. Two easy to apply solution procedures are proposed.

Reexamining a Specific Vendor-buyer System with Rework and an Improving Delivery Plan Using an Alternative Approach
This paper uses an alternative approach to reexamine a prior study on joint determination of manufacturing lot-size and shipment policy in a vendor-buyer system with rework process and an improving delivery plan. The proposed method is a straightforward approach in terms of algebraic derivations. It is different from the conventional method that needs to apply the first-order and second-order d...
متن کاملOptimal Solution in a Constrained Distribution System
We develop a method to obtain an optimal solution for a constrained distribution system with several items and multi-retailers. The objective is to determine the procurement frequency as well as the joint shipment interval for each retailer in order to minimize the total costs. The proposed method is applicable to both nested and non-nested policies and ends up with an optimal solution. To solv...
متن کاملOptimal production and shipment models for a single-vendor-single-buyer integrated system
This paper develops a more general production-inventory model for a single-vendor–single-buyer integrated system. Unlike the hitherto existing production-inventory models for the vendor–buyer system, the present model neither requires the buyer’s unit holding cost greater than the vendor’s nor assumes the structure of shipment policy. Secondly, the model is extended to the situation with shorta...
متن کاملOptimal Manufacturer-Retailer Policies in a Supply Chain with Defective Product and Price Dependent Demand
This study deals with a two-level supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. We consider an integrated production inventory system where the manufacturer processes raw materials in order to deliver finished product with imperfect quality to the retailer, where number of defective product has a uniform distribution. The retailer receives product and conducts a 100% inspection....

This paper derives the optimal production-shipment policy for a vendor-buyer integrated system with rework process and a cost lessening product delivery plan. The objective is to derive the optimal production lot size and number of deliveries that minimizes total costs for the proposed vendor-buyer integrated system. This paper extends the work of Chiu et al. [Joint determination of the product...
