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...

now a days, management and control of perishable inventories is important in many units and industrial enterprises. basically perishable inventory management and control is more complex and challenging than inventories with unlimited lifetime. hence determining the optimal inventory policies for these products is very important.  in this paper, the optimal inventory policy for perishable items ...

In this paper, a production inventory model is considered for stochastic demand with the effect of inflation. Generally, every manufacturing system wants to produce perfect quality items. However, due to real-life problems (labor problems, machine breakdown, etc.), a certain percentage of products are of imperfect quality. The imperfect items are reworked at a cost. The lifetime of a defective ...

a r t i c l e i n f o This paper expands an inventory model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent demand. This model provides time varying backlogging rate as well as time varying deterioration rate. The aim of this model is to determine the optimal cycle length of each product such that the expected total cost (holding, shortage, ordering, deterioration and opportunity cost) is minimize...

Abstract: This study is concerned with replenishment decision making with repairable nonconforming products, backordering and random equipment failure during production uptime. In real world manufacturing systems, due to different factors generation of nonconforming items and unexpected machine breakdown are inevitable. Also, in certain business environments various situations between vendor an...

One of the most fruitful areas in the line of inventory is that the deficiency of handling/ production facilities can be overcome through a natural phenomenon known as learning effect. Due to this the performance of service and manufacturing organizations engaged in a repetitive process improves with time. The proposed economic order quantity model (EOQ) in this paper has been made realistic by...
