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...

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...

The traditional economic production quantity (EPQ) model assumes that the production products are all perfect. It is not always true in the real production system, due to imperfect production process or other factors, imperfect quality items may be produced. Furthermore, it is well-known that the total production-inventory costs can be reduced by reworking the imperfect quality items produced w...

The emotional state, psychological characteristics, cognitive function, and the relevance among above factors in patients with functional constipation (FC) are complex. This study aimed to investigate whether FC symptoms might be related to implicit processing such as psychological characteristics and emotional somatization.Thirty-five FC patients and 24 normal volunteers were recruited to coll...

The sustainable EPQ models that have been proposed in the inventory literature are insufficient to address practical scenario of defects manufacturing and subsequent rework for remedial actions. In this article, model with faulty products has studied. Promotional activities key factors significantly affect market demand an item. impacts random combining economic environmental elements on order ...

Relationships between Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB) scores, inspection time (IT), choice reaction time (CRT), and the odd-man procedure (OMO) were investigated. IT was measured using a curve-fitting procedure that was less susceptible to variable task performance. IQ correlated significantly with IT (r = -.624) and OMO decision time (DT; r = .365) as well as with CRT DT (r = -.28). IT...

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...

Haematopoietic growth factors are a family of genetically determined low molecular weight glycoproteins which regulate the proliferation and differentiation of haemopoietic cells through specific membrane receptors. GCSF and GMCSF reduce the morbidity from infections associated with the neutropenia induced by chemotherapy of onco-haematological neoplasia; EPQ totally corrects not only the anaem...

This paper describes two heuristics for the basic economic order quantity and economic production quantity with partial backordering that use the time between orders and the percentage of demand filled from stock as the decision variables. Tests of the heuristics on a set of problems generated by using different values for six situational characteristics indicate that both heuristics should per...
