Optimality of Zero - Inventory Policies for anUnreliable Manufacturing System Producing TwoPart
This paper is concerned with optimal production rates for a failure-prone machine that produces two distinct part types. We consider the problem of controlling production rates so as to minimize the expected long-run average cost of product surpluses over time. We assume constant per unit holding and shortage costs and constant demand rates for the part types. We provide an expression for the p...
متن کاملComplexity of Buffer Capacity Allocation Problems for Production Lines with Unreliable Machines
Buffer capacity allocation problems for flow-line manufacturing systems with unreliable machines are studied. These problems arise in a wide range of manufacturing systems and concern determining buffer capacities with respect to a given optimality criterion which can depend on the average production rate of the line, buffer cost, inventory cost, etc. Here, this problem is proven to be NP-hard ...
متن کاملInventory Management with Auctions and Other Sales Channels: Optimality
We study periodic-review inventory replenishment problems with fixed ordering costs, and show the optimality of (s, S) inventory replenishment policies. Inventory replenishment is instantaneous, i.e., the lead time is zero. We consider several sales mechanisms, e.g., auction mechanisms, name-your-own-price mechanisms, and multiple heterogeneous sales channels. We prove this result by showing th...
متن کاملRetail Inventory Management When Records Are Inaccurate
Inventory record inaccuracy is a significant problem for retailers using automated inventory management systems. While investments in preventative and corrective measures can be effective remedies, gains can also be achieved through inventory management tools that account for record errors. In this paper, we consider intelligent inventory management tools that account for record errors using a ...
متن کاملOptimal Safety Stocks and Preventive Maintenance Periods in Unreliable Manufacturing Systems
We consider a manufacturing system with preventive maintenance that produces a single part type. An inventory is maintained according to a machine age dependent hedging point policy. We conjecture that, for such a system, the failure frequencies can be reduced through preventive maintenance resulting in possible increase in system performance. Traditional preventive maintenance policies, such a...
