Purpose: One challenge in inventory control models is to know the stock available at the beginning of the cycle to … satisfy future demands, i.e. to know the on-hand stock levels at order delivery. For inventory managers, this knowledge is … necessary to both determine service levels and establish the control parameters of the inventory policy. However, the …

This paper addresses the selection of optimal shift numbers considering inventory information, customer requirements … optimizing the shift periods considering constraints of raw material, due date, demand, finished goods inventory and machine … goods inventory and machine breakdown. MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Tool Box is used to develop the model. …

determine the production sequence and lot sizes that minimize the sum of start up and setup costs, inventory and production … 10%. This gap depends on the significance of the inventory and production costs and the machine's capacity. Comparing the … bearing expensive start up and setup costs, to reduce their Inventory and Production costs and Start up and setup cots …

decoupling point and the optimal path of the production rate as well as the inventory level in a supply chain. With the objective … inventory rate for the proposed dynamic models. The performances of parameters are illustrated through analytical and numerical … approaches. Findings: The results denote that the optimal production rate and inventory level are closely related to the target …
