This research is derived an integrated model of economic production quantity, inspection and preventive maintenance to incorporate rework, minimal repair and inspection time for an imperfect production system. Some proportions of non-conforming items are assumed scrap before the rework process start and others are reworked. The rework process is imperfect that is a proportion of the reworked it...

in this model, we establish an inventory model to determine the optimal inventory replenishment scheme for the economic production quantity (epq) model for imperfect, deteriorating items with sales return service under multiple production and rework setup. in one cycle, production process can produces the products in m production setups and reworks the defective items in one rework setup. the c...

The classical economic production quantity (EPQ) model is a well-known and commonly used inventory control technique. Common assumptions in this model are that all units produced are of perfect quality and shortage is not allowed, since in practice shortage, non-conforming product or scrap items are possible, these assumptions will underestimate the actual required quantity. The objective of th...

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 traditional inventory of the economic order quantity model assumes perfect items in an ordered lot and an infinite replenishment rate. However, such conditions are rare in actual production environments. Additionally, most studies of this problem have only considered suppliers offering the wholesaler a grace period. In practice, wholesalers often extend a fixed credit period to downstream c...

the traditional economic production quantity (epq) model assumes that during the production process no imperfect item is produced. but 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...

This paper studies the optimal production run length for the economic manufacturing quantity model with maintenance, scrap and rework actions under the imperfect production system where the process state is classified as either in-control or out-of-control. Suppose that a production process starts to produce in an in-control state, however, after a period of time, the process may evolve from th...
