Abstract:

This paper is an extension of Hsu and Hsu (Int J Ind Eng Comput 3(5):939–948, 2012) aiming to determine the optimal order quantity of product batches that contain defective items with percentage nonconforming following a known probability density function. The orders are subject to 100 % screening process at a rate higher than the demand rate. Shortage is backordered, and defective items in each ordering cycle are stored in a warehouse to be returned to the supplier when a new order is received. Although the retailer does not sell defective items at a lower price and only trades perfect items (to avoid loss), a higher holding cost incurs to store defective items. Using the renewalreward theorem, the optimal order and shortage quantities are determined. Some numerical examples are solved at the end to clarify the applicability of the proposed model and to compare the new policy to an existing one. The results show that the new policy provides better expected profit per time.

Optimal lot-sizing policy for a manufacturer with defective items in a supply chain with up-stream and down-stream trade credits

In this paper, we establish an economic production quantity model for a manufacturer (or wholesaler) with defective items when its supplier offers an up-stream trade credit M while it in turn provides its buyers (or retailers) a down-stream trade credit N. The proposed model is in a general framework that includes numerous previous models as special cases. In contrast to the traditional differe...

Optimal Lot Sizing with Unreliable Product ion System

The classical lot, sizing model deals with economic lot sizing for production in a deterministic framework. In real life, various forms of uncertainty affect the production. These include machine breakdown, quality variations, and so on. This paper develops a model with unreliable production systems and under alternative repair option strategies. @ 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved...

Ergo-Lot-Sizing: Considering Ergonomics in Lot-Sizing Decisions

One aspect that has mostly been overlooked in traditional economic lot-sizing is the implication of decisions on manual tasks and workload. Although lot-sizing decisions can have a significant impact on required manual material handling and on human performance, works that consider ergonomic aspects in lot-sizing are rare. This paper presents a model that integrates ergonomic aspect in terms of...

Lot sizing with inventory gains

This paper introduces the single item lot sizing problem with inventory gains. This problem is a generalization of the classical single item capacitated lot sizing problem to one in which stock is not conserved. That is, the stock in inventory undergoes a transformation in each period that is independent of the period in which the item was produced. A 0 1 mixed integer programming formulation o...

Optimal Production Scheduling and Lot-sizing In Yoghurt Production Lines

The lot-sizing and production scheduling problem in a real-life multi-product yoghurt production line is addressed. A new discrete/continuous time representation mixedinteger linear programming model, based on the definition of families of products, is presented. It is mainly optimized the packaging stage while timing and capacity constraints are imposed with respect to the pasteurization/homog...
