The optimal production - run time for a stock - dependent imperfect production process

This paper develops an inventory model for a hypothesized volume flexible manufacturing system in which the production rate is stock-dependent and the system produces both perfect and imperfect quality items. The demand rate of perfect quality items is known and constant, whereas the demand rate of imperfect (non-conforming to specifications) quality items is a function of discount offered in the selling price. | Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research 23 (2013), Number 1, 111-127 DOI: 10.2298/YJOR110611027J THE OPTIMAL PRODUCTION-RUN TIME FOR A STOCKDEPENDENT IMPERFECT PRODUCTION PROCESS Divya JAIN, Kishor KUMAR AGGARWAL Department of Operational Research, Faculty of Mathematical Sciences, University of Delhi, Delhi 110007, India Received: June 2011 / Accepted: November 2012 Abstract: This paper develops an inventory model for a hypothesized volume flexible manufacturing system in which the production rate is stock-dependent and the system produces both perfect and imperfect quality items. The demand rate of perfect quality items is known and constant, whereas the demand rate of imperfect (non-conforming to specifications) quality items is a function of discount offered in the selling price. In this paper, we determine an optimal production-run time and the optimal discount that should be offered in the selling price to influence the sale of imperfect quality items produced by the manufacturing system. The considered model aims to maximize the net profit obtained through the sales of both perfect and imperfect quality items subject to certain constraints of the system. The solution procedure suggests the use of ‘Interior Penalty Function Method’ to solve the associated constrained maximization problem. Finally, a numerical example demonstrating the applicability of proposed model has been included.

INTRODUCTION In the classical Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model, the production rate of a manufacturing system is regarded to be pre-determined and inflexible. However, with changing trends, it has been noticed that the ability of manufacturing system to respond to variations has opened up a new level of competition. Today, flexibility has become an important tool to gain a competitive edge in a business environment. 112 D. Jain, .
