Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstablishing an Adaptive Production-Procurement System with Markov Chain Approach Associated with 3C TheoryChun-Ta LinProblem statement: In this study, we classify the imperfect situations that the unreliability of production and the defective products might be incurred from production process into eight independently recurrent categories. Approach: With the property of recurrence of Markov chain, the limiting probability of each imperfect production category can be calculated through the transition probabilities matrix generated from these imperfect production … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling of Multi-Level Capacitated Lot-Size Scheduling ProblemZuhaimy Ismail, Diyana Abd Mahad, Tan Siew ChingProblem statement: Lot-size is the clustering of items for transportation or manufacturing processes occurring at the same time. The issue in lot-size problem is to design production processes so that the feasible production quantities are equal to customer demand quantities and the timing of production is such that inventory positions are almost zero. Approach: In this study, we explore the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,319 accessesView PDFCite
