Abstract

Transfer pricing mechanism is applied to the problem of input buffer size in the context of interfacing a flexible manufacturing system with multiple following production lines. The size of the input buffers can be determined economically by using non-linear transfer pricing either in a decentralized organization or in a centralized organization. Under the certain conditions, input buffer size determined from this non-linear transfer pricing is more economical than the traditional economic lot size model. The benefit comes from transferring part of FMS' inventory to the following production lines. And this non-linear transfer pricing makes sense if the FMS' unit inventory holding cost is high enough.
