An integrated vendor–buyer model with stochastic demand, lot-size dependent lead-time and learning in production
Authors
Abstract:
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 are different. Under n-shipment policy, the annual expected total cost of the system is derived. An algorithm is suggested to derive the optimal values of the number of shipments, the lot-size, the percentage of defective produced per batch and the safety stock factor so as to minimize the annual expected total cost of the system. The solution procedure is illustrated through numerical examples. The benefit of investment for reducing the defect rate is shown numerically. It is also observed that learning in production has significant effect on the annual expected total cost of the integrated system.

Integrated inventory model with lot size , production rate and lead time interactions ∗
Under the assumption that the replenishment lead time is dependent on both lot size of the buyer and production rate of the vendor, an integrated production inventory model is presented in this paper. The decision-making interaction of lead time between a buyer and a vendor in the integrated inventory model is analyzed. In terms of the model, a solution procedure has been developed to obtain th...

In practice, manufacturing systems are never perfect and may have low quality outputs. Therefore, different decisions such as reprocessing, sale at lower prices or diminishing are made according to industry and market. This paper investigates the importance of supply chain coordination through developing two models in centralized decision-making for an imperfect quality manufacturing system wit...

inventory model, backorder buyer , vendor, lot for lot policy In this paper, an inventory model for two-stage supply chain is investigated. A supply chain with single vendor and single buyer is considered. We assume that shortage as a backorder is allowed for the buyer and the vendor makes the production set up every time the buyer places an order and supplies on a lot for lot basis...

Recently, much emphasis has given to study the control and maintenance of production inventories of the deteriorating items. Rework is one of the main issues in reverse logistic and green supply chain, since it can reduce production cost and the environmental problem. Many researchers have focused on developing rework model, but few of them have developed model for deteriorating items. Due to t...

This paper investigates an EPQ model with the increasing demand and demand dependent production rate involving the trade credit financing policy, which is seldom reported in the literatures. The model considers the manufacturer was offered by the supplier a delayed payment time. It is assumed that the demand is a linear increasing function of the time and the production rate is proportional to ...

In this paper, a newsboy model is developed under uniformly distributed lead-time and demand that is an appropriate assumption in obtaining optimal relief inventory of humanitarian disasters. It is noteworthy that limited historical data are in hand on relief operations. Hence, analytical and approximate solutions for optimal relief order quantity were derived. The effect of lead-time uncertai...
