Typical models of the production inventory systems assume that lot sizes of raw materials and final products are treated separately which leads to suboptimization production process. In this paper, a unified inventory model of an integrated production inventory system, where each of production, demand and deterioration rates are general functions of time, is considered. Shortage for the final p...

In practice, manufacturing systems are never perfect and may have low quality outputs. Therefore, different decisions such as reprocessing, sale at lower prices or diminishing are made according to industry and market. This paper investigates the importance of supply chain coordination through developing two models in centralized decision-making for an imperfect quality manufacturing system wit...

In this paper, we present an integrated version of the Ng model and Zhou and Fan model [W. L. Ng,A simple classifier for multiple criteria ABC analysis, European Journal of Operation Research, 177(2007) 344-353; P. Zhou & L. Fan, A note on multi-criteria ABC inventory classification usingweighted linear optimization, European Journal of Operation Research, 182 (2007) 1488-1491]. Themodel that N...

In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model that integrates layout configuration and production planning in the design of dynamic distributed layouts. The model incorporates a number of important manufacturing attributes such as demand fluctuation, system reconfiguration, lot splitting, work load balancing, alternative routings, machine capability and tooling requirements. In addition, t...

todays, improving the competitiveness of companies and rapidly responding to diverse customers’ demands requires efficient management of the supply chain. integration is one of the effective indices in a supply chain, and vendor managed inventory (vmi) is one of the innovative approaches in this field. in this paper, an integrated model based on a vmi system for deteriorating and ameliorating i...

    inventory model,   backorder   buyer ,   vendor,   lot for lot policy In this paper, an inventory model for two-stage supply chain is investigated. A supply chain with single vendor and single buyer is considered. We assume that shortage as a backorder is allowed for the buyer and the vendor makes the production set up every time the buyer places an order and supplies on a lot for lot basis...

This paper aims to investigate the integrated production/distribution and inventory planning for perishable products with fixed life time in the constant condition of storage throughout a two-echelon supply chain by integrating producers and distributors. This problem arises from real environment in which multi-plant with multi-function lines produce multi-perishable products with fixed life ti...
