An economic production quantity model with imperfection in process, unit transportation cost and backordering

International Journal of Operational Research (IJOR), Vol. 40, No. 3, 2021

Abstract: Determining batch quantity for manufacturer in an imperfect production setup is a key issue during the last decade. Several mathematical models have been developed for this purpose but these models are lacking of the consideration of unit transportation cost in the system-wide cost. It is quite clear, that nowadays the transportation accounts for a huge portion of the overall cost of a product. Therefore, there is a need to involve transportation cost into the model for better decision-making process. In this way, the paper incorporates unit transportation cost in an imperfect environment and allowing backorders as well as random defects. Three cases have been modelled by assuming the defective rate following uniform, triangular and beta distribution. Sensitivity analysis has been carried out to point out the important specification of all the three cases of the model.
