In this note, we correct some typos that appeared in Yassine et al. {Yassine, A., Maddah, B., Salameh M., Disaggregation and consolidation of imperfect quality shipments in an extended EPQ model, International Journal of Production Economics 135 (2012) 345–352}, specifically, for one of their models that considered consolidating shipments of imperfect quality items across multiple production cy...

This paper considers an economic production quantity (EPQ) model with imperfect production processes, in which the setup cost and process quality are functions of capital expenditure. The mathematical model is derived to investigate the effects of an imperfect production process on the optimal production cycle time when capital investment strategies in setup reduction and process quality improv...

Huang and Huang [International Journal of Systems Science, 39 (2008), 539-546] offered the algebraic approach to investigate the retailer’s replenishment policy under trade credit on the economic production quantity (EPQ) model. In this paper, we propose an arithmetic-geometric mean inequality method to simplify the algebraic method of completing perfect square established by Huang and Huang (2...

 Imperfect production processes lead to imperfect products and decrease the profit of a business. Improvement in the production process by increasing the investment cost will decrease the defective percentage of items. This study develops an EPQ model with investments on imperfect production processes under limited capital. An algorithm is developed to derive the replenishment and investment p...

Economic production quantity (EPQ) inventory model for trended demand has been analyzed with rework facility and stochastic preventive machine time. Due to the complexity of the model, search method is proposed to determine the best optimal solution. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are carried out to validate the proposed model. From the sensitivity analysis, it is observed that th...
