چکیده

We study the optimal integrated production/inventory policy in a two-echelon supply chain with one manufacturer and one retailer. The manufacturer produces items in her production facility and keeps the Þnished goods in inventory. The manufacturer’s production facility deteriorates with usage and is subject to failure. Under the assumption that the manufacturer has on-line access to the retailer’s inventory information, we formulate the manufacturer’s integrated decisions on maintenance and production using a Markov Decision Process. The optimal dynamic policy is shown to have a rather complex structure which leads us to consider more implementable policies. We present the modiÞed echelon-stock policy as a substitute for the optimal policy, and develop exact models for evaluating the performance of this policy. A detailed numerical study demonstrates that the proposed policy performs extremely well. Finally, we present insights into the value of information when maintenance operation is and is not preemptable.

An integrated production and preventive maintenance planning model with imperfect maintenance in multi-state system

Production planning and maintenance are two important problems in manufacturing systems. Despite the relationship exists between these two problems due to sudden failures and production capacity occupied by maintenance activities, each of these problems planned separately and as a result program and model efficiencies reduce in the real world. The aim of integrated production and maintena...

Optimization of two-stage production/inventory systems under order base stock policy with advance demand information

It is important to share demand information among the members in supply chains. In recent years, production and inventory systems with advance demand information (ADI) have been discussed, where advance demand information means the information of demand which the decision maker obtains before the corresponding actual demand arrives. Appropriate production and inventory control using demand info...

Production Control Policies in Supply Chains with Selective-Information Sharing

We consider a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer (capacitated supplier) and two retailers. We characterize the manufacturer’s optimal production policy under selective-information sharing, in which the manufacturer receives demand and inventory information from only one of the two retailers. We show that the manufacturer’s optimal production policy is a state-dependent base-stock polic...
