We present inventory models to schedule an imperfect manufacturing process where a proportion of the items are defective. The proportion is known; and the production is followed by a 100% inspection. The manufacturer implements a rework strategy to rectify the defective items. Since the rework...

We study the deterministic optimization problem of a profit-maximizing firm which plans its sales/production schedule. The Firm knows the revenue associated to a given level of sales, as well as its production and storage costs. The revenue and the production cost are assumed to be,...

We study energy consumption and inventory control in a make-to-stock manufacturing system. We consider a Markovian system with a single server. The server consumes energy, and the associated energy cost depends on the server state: a busy server consumes more power than an idle server does, and...
