Abstract

In this paper, an attempt has been made to revise Raafat' s(1985) results on an inventory model for decaying raw materials and the finished product at a constant rate which was based on Goyal's integrated inventory model for a single product system. This paper is concerned with scheduling the frequencies of order quantity of several different raw materials on a production inventory model. The purpose of this paper is to present a simple method of deciding the frequencies of order quantity of raw materials, in the sense of minimizing the average total cost of the system. We describe on iterative procedure for directly determining near optimal frequencies of order quantity for the raw materials and the associated fundamental cycle time which can be used for constructing the production duration of the finished product. In cases where feasible schedules cannot be constructed using the values from the iterative procedure, the procedure provides a basis for changing the order quantity frequencies and the fundamental cycle time to obtain feasible schedules. An example is given to illustrate the derived results.
