We discuss five areas of inventory model, including reusable raw material, EPQ model, optimization, random planning horizon and present value. In the traditional EPQ model, the stock-holding cost of raw material was not counted as a part of relevant cost. We explored the possibility of reducing a company’s impact on the environment and increasing their competitiveness by recycling their repair ...

In this paper, an economic production quantity (EPQ) inventory model with interruption in process, scrap and rework is developed and analyzed. The inventory model is for multiple products and all products are manufactured in a unique machine. Obviously, the existence of only one machine results in limited production capacity and shortages. Therefore, shortages are permitted and fully backordere...

Previous work has demonstrated that individuals with a repressive coping style (i.e. those high in defensiveness and low in trait anxiety) tend to show higher levels of physiological reactivity than nonrepressors. The present study examined archival data from a two-session experiment to assess whether repressors would show greater reactivity as measured by the eye blink component of the acousti...

This study addresses the problem of "faking bad" (malingering) of abnormal types (non paranoid schizophrenia, paranoid schizophrenia, and psychopathy) when answering the EPQ-R-S personality questionnaire and clinical scales. We tested 180 students under two conditions: “fake bad” and “sincerity”. We demonstrated that although answers to EPQ-R-S may be deliberately and specifically modified, thi...

Goldberg s (2001) IPIP Big-Five personality factor markers currently lack validating evidence. The structure of the 50-item IPIP was examined in three different adult samples (total N = 906), in each case justifying a 5-factor solution, with only minor discrepancies. Age differences were comparable to previous findings using other inventories. One sample (N = 207) also completed two further per...

Background: Many businesses want to include sustainability in their manufacturing operations. A conventional economic production quantity (EPQ) model is employed calculate the ideal number of products manufacture at one time. The goal this study was look current research on sustainable and supply chain models suggest prospective future directions based existing knowledge gaps. Methods: In persp...

EPQ model; Replenishment lot size; Multiple deliveries; Random defective items; Production; Rework; Scrap items. Abstract This paper derives the optimal replenishment lot size and shipment policy for an Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model with multiple deliveries and rework of random defective items. The classic EPQmodel assumes a continuous inventory issuing policy for satisfying demand a...

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in social characteristics (level of education, working and family status, and criminal record) between heroin addicts, cannabis users and a control group. Additional goal was to explore the possibility of discerning subjects of different addiction status (of both gender) based on their scores on Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). In...
