The aim is to determine the optimal lot size that minimizes overall costs in an economic production model with defects and reworking.
Consideration of a random defective rate in production
Mathematical modeling that includes repairing, holding, and disposal costs
Application of the renewal reward theorem for variable cycle length
Optimal lot size derived minimizes overall costs including rework and disposal expenses
The model allows for backordering, impacting inventory management strategies
Findings support effective management of defective items in production settings
