Abstract:

This study has developed a production inventory model where the cycle timeis fuzzy, the existence of defective products is assumed in each batch andproduct screening is performed both in-production and after-production.Triangular fuzzy numbers serve to model uncertainties in the cycle time, anda fuzzified total inventory profit function is created by thedefuzzification method known as the signed distance method. The classicalapproach is used to determine the optimal policy, with the ideal cycle timematched to the total profit. Although assuming asymmetric triangular fuzzynumbers prevents the calculation of a clear analytical solution, the methodapproaches as closely as possible to an analytical solution. A numericalsolution to only one equation is needed to obtain the optimal configuration.Conversely, there is a positive trade-off, with an analytical solution tothe optimization problem if there is an assumption of symmetrical triangularfuzzy numbers. The proposed model is illustrated by a numerical example. Thepaper presents results and sensitivity analyses, in both tables and graphicillustrations. The effects on total profit are discussed in relation tovarious parameters. From the numerical studies, it is observed that thelevel of fuzziness influences the cycle time and an approximately linearrelationship, in the opposite direction, was found between the total profitand the level of fuzziness, when it was increased.

An EPQ model with inflation in an imperfect production system

In this paper, a production inventory model is considered for stochastic demand with the effect of inflation. Generally, every manufacturing system wants to produce perfect quality items. However, due to real-life problems (labor problems, machine breakdown, etc.), a certain percentage of products are of imperfect quality. The imperfect items are reworked at a cost. The lifetime of a defective ...

An integrated production-marketing planning model With Cubic production cost function and imperfect production process

The basic assumption in the traditional inventory model is that all outputs are perfect items. However, this assumption is too simplistic in the most real-life situations due to a natural phenomenon in a production process. From this it is deduced that the system produces non-perfects items which can be classified into four groups of perfect, imperfect, reworkable defective and non-reworkable d...

A multi-item EPQ model with imperfect production process for time varying demand with shortages

In this paper, economic production quantity(EPQ)models for breakable or deteriorating items are developed with time dependent linear variable demands. Here rate of production and holding cost are time dependent and unit production cost is a function of both production reliability indicator and production rate. Set-up cost is also partially production rate dependent.The production process produc...

An EPQ Model of Exponential Deterioration With Fuzzy Demand and Production With Shortages

In the fundamental production inventory model, in order to solve the economic production quantity (EPQ) we always fix both the demand quantity and the production quantity per day. But, in the real situation, both of them probably will have little disturbances every day. Therefore, we should fuzzify both of them to solve the economic production quantity (q*) per cycle. Using α-cut for defuzzific...

An EPQ Model for Product Life Cycle (Maturity Stage) with Deteriorating Items and Shortages

  A product life cycle is the life span of a product in which the period begins with the initial product specification and ends with the withdrawal from the market of both the product and its support. A product life cycle can be divided into several stages characterized by the revenue generated by the product. This study investigates inventory control policies in a manufacturing system for a si...

An inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with imperfect quality, delay in payments and time value money

In this paper, Economic Order Quantity ( ) based model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with imperfect quality, permissible delay in payments and inflation is proposed. We adopt a time-dependent demand function. Also, the effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. Moreover, we assume that orders may contain a random proportion of defective items...
