This paper deals with the problem of the joint determination of the optimal lot sizing and optimal production control policy for an unreliable and imperfect manufacturing system, where the quality control of lots produced is performed using an acceptance sampling plan. The proportion of...

We investigate the simultaneous production planning and quality control problem for an unreliable single machine manufacturing system responding to a single product type demand. The machine is subject to deteriorations, and their effect is observed mainly on the rate of defectives, which...
