This research work derives an integrated inventory model for imperfect production/remanufacturing process with time varying demand, production and repair rates under inflationary environment. This inventory model deals with the joint manufacturing and remanufacturing options. There is a collection process devoted to collect used items with the aim to remanufacture them. Both production and repair runs generate imperfect items. The repair process remanufactures used and imperfect items. Further, it is also considered that the remanufactured item that is classified as good has exactly same quality as that of new one. Demand rate is supposed as time dependent. The production rate is assumed to be demand dependent and therefore it is also time dependent. The repair rate is supposed to be a function of time. All system costs are contemplated in uncertain environment. Therefore, the costs are considered as fuzzy nature. Theoretical results are illustrated thru a numerical example. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is performed in order to know the impact of different parameters on the optimal policy.
In this paper, we present a model for time dependent demand with multiple productions and rework setups. Production is demand dependent and greater than the demand rate. Production facility produces items in m production setups and one rework setup (m, 1) policy. The major reason of reverse logistic and green supply chain is rework, so it reduces the cost of production and other ecological problems. Most of the researchers developed a rework model without deteriorating items. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis is shown to describe the model.
We develop a two-warehouse production model with imperfect items. Production rate is taken as the linear combination of on-hand inventory and demand, while demand rate is taken as function of time. Most of the researchers consider that the production rate is independent from the demand rate. In this paper we assume production rate as being dependent on the demand rate, and this assumption is more realistic. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged with time-dependent backlogging rate. Due to different preservation facilities we consider that the deterioration rate is time dependent in own warehouse (OW) and Weibull distribution deterioration in rented warehouse (RW). Holding cost in RW is greater than in OW. We developed a fuzzy model with fuzzifying all the costs of the model as triangular fuzzy numbers. The present model is developed in both crisp and fuzzy senses. Finally, numerical example is shown, and sensitivity is also illustrated.
Editor-We have read the case report and accompanying literature review entitled 'Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in superior mesenteric vein thrombosis' by Phyu et al with great interest. 1 Although we agree with the authours review of the literature, we feel there is more to consider in cases like this based on our experiences in a tertiary hepatology centre.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
