The EPQ model with random defective rate under service constraint without calculus

چکیده
Huang [Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2006, ID 79028, 1-5] studied the effect of service level constraint on the economic production quantity (EPQ) model with random defective rate. He offered an algebraic approach to replace his differential calculus skill to find the optimal solution under the expected annual cost minimized. In this article, we want to use an easy and simple arithmetic-geometric mean inequality approach to determine the retailer’s optimal solution under minimizing the expected annual cost. This approach could therefore be used easily to introduce the basic inventory theories to younger students who lack the knowledge of calculus.

A note on joint determination of the rotation cycle time and number of shipments for a multi- item EPQ model with a random defective rate
This study proposes a two-phase, algebraic approach to resolve the rotation cycle time and number of shipments for a multi-item, economic production quantity (EPQ) model with a random defective rate. A conventional method for solving a multi-item EPQ model is to use differential calculus and Hessian matrix equations on system cost function to prove convexity first and then derive an optimal pro...

In this model, we establish an inventory model to determine the optimal inventory replenishment scheme for the economic production quantity (EPQ) model for imperfect, deteriorating items with sales return service under multiple production and rework setup. In one cycle, production process can produces the products in m production setups and reworks the defective items in one rework setup. The c...

This paper investigates optimal replenishment lot size and optimal number of shipments for economic production quantity (EPQ) model with rework process using an algebraic approach. The classic EPQ model assumes a perfect quality production for all items produced and a continuous issuing policy for satisfying customer‟s demand. However, in a real life vendor-buyer integrated-production-inventory...

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 ...

The Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model is often used in the manufacturing sector to assist firms in determining the optimal production lot size that minimizes overall production-inventory costs. There are some assumptions in the EPQ model that restrict this model for real-world applications. Some of these assumptions are (1) infinite space of warehouse, (2) all of the pr...
