Purpose: We deal with the problem of the joint determination of optimal economic production quantity (EPQ) and optimal … number of production cycles and the PM policy simultaneously by minimizing the cost model. Design …/methodology/approach: Considering the products go through the system in a sequence and a complete run of all products forms a production cycle. In each …

Recently, much emphasis has given to study the control and maintenance of production inventories of the deteriorating … items. Rework is one of the main issues in reverse logistic and green supply chain, since it can reduce production cost and … this paper. In this paper, a production-inventory model with deteriorative items in which one cycle has n production setups …

of preventive maintenance actions and the optimal size of buffer stock for a production unit that is owned by a lessor … proposed model gives better solutions than those where the maintenance cost to the lessor and the production inventory cost to … implicitly assume that the firm owns the production unit and maintenance actions are done in-house. However, equipment …

new grounds in maintenance workforce theory and practice from a number of perspectives. First, we have successfully … proposed procedure over them. Second, the analytical discourse, which was framed on stochastic theory, focusing on specific … overhaul rework and overtime maintenance activities in manufacturing systems and demonstrated capacity in generating …

Based on a queueing network, a model is developed for … into account various sources of uncertainty, both in demand as well as in production characteristics. In addition, the … the debate on the convexity between lot size and lead time in a complex production environment. We show that differential …

This paper presents a generic modeling framework to simultaneously decide about production quantities and maintenance … for each specific type of product, a lot-sizing problem occurs. In addition it is assumed that production causes intensive … wear and tear. For this reason frequent maintenance activities need to be coordinated with the production operations in …
