In this paper, we have developed an economic production quantity (EPQ) model in which production is executed mainly by the original machine. But when the system faces disruption, the buffer of it continues the production. Here, we incorporate a fixed Safe Period running policy, in which the machine runs interruptedly, whenever production commences.  The disruption of the system may occur at any moment of the time horizon over the safe period, and then, it will go under the corrective maintenance policy. Here, we take that both of the time of disruption and period of maintenance are continuous random variables. We have discussed the model under different safe period duration with corresponding disruption situations. Our main objective is to minimize the expected average total cost for all the cases concerning the production lot size. The model has also been illustrated numerically with some examples. To examine the robustness of the solution of this model, we discuss the sensitivity analysis for the parameters.

Conventional approaches for deriving optimal production lot size are by using the differential calculus on the production-inventory cost function with the need to prove optimality first. Recent articles proposed the algebraic approach to the solution of classic economic order quantity and economic production quantity (EPQ) model without reference to the use of derivatives. This note extends it to an EPQ model taking the random defective rate and imperfect rework process into consideration. We demonstrate that the optimal lot size can be solved algebraically and the expected inventory cost can be derived immediately as well.

The most popular inventory model to determine production lot size is Economic Production Quantity (EPQ). It shows enterprise how to minimize total production cost by reducing inventory cost. But, three main parameters in EPQ which are demand, machine set up cost, and holding cost, are not suitable to solve issues nowadays. When an enterprise has two types of demand, continue and discrete demand, the basic EPQ would be no longer useful. Demand continues comes from a customer who wants their needs to be fulfilled every time per unit time, while the fulfillment of demand discrete is at a fixed interval of time. A literature review is done by writers to observe other formulation of EPQ model. As there is no other research can be found which adopt this topic, this study tries to develop EPQ model considering two types of demand simultaneously.

A single item, single cycle economic production quantity model for perishable products is proposed where the demand is two-component and stock dependent. The production inventory scenario of products like cake, bread, fast foods, fishes, garments, cosmetics etc in the festival season is considered. The profit function is formulated under the assumption that the time period of the festival seasons is fixed and the display capacity of the produced item is limited. In the formulation process, to introduce more flexibility, a goal programming technique is incorporated to achieve the producer's desired profit and stock of as much inventory as possible below the display capacity level. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed model. A sensitivity analysis of the model is also carried out.

We study the effect of service level constraint on the economic production quantity (EPQ) model with random defective rate. We first prove that the expected overall cost for imperfect quality EPQ model with backlogging permitted is less than or equal to that of the same model without backlogging. Secondly, the relationship between “imputed backorder cost” and maximal shortage level is derived for decision-making on whether the required service level is achievable. Then an equation is proposed for calculating the intangible backorder cost for the situation when the required service level is not attainable. By including this intangible backorder cost in the mathematical analysis, one can derive a new optimal lot-size policy that minimizes expected total costs as well as satisfies the service level constraint. Numerical example is provided to demonstrate its practical usage.

Determining the optimal replenishment lot size and shipment policy for a production setup has been of greater interest during the last few years. This paper derives the optimal replenishment lot size and shipment policy for an Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model with rework of defective items. However, in a real life situation, multi-shipment policy is used in lieu of continuous issuing policy and generation of defective items is inevitable. The proposed research assume that all imperfect quality items are reworked to perfect quality items and then all perfect quality items are delivered to the customers. Mathematical modeling is used in this study and the long-run average production–inventory-delivery cost function is derived. Convexity of the cost function is proved by using the Hessian matrix equations. The closed-form optimal replenishment lot size and optimal number of shipments that minimize the long-run average costs for such an EPQ model are derived.

Chiu studied the effect of service-level constraint on the economic production quantity (EPQ) model with random defective rate. In this note, we will offer a simple algebraic approach to replace his differential calculus skill to find the optimal solution under the expected annual cost minimization.
