Keywords: Operatons research, multproduct fabrcaton system, delayed dfferentaton, vendor-buyer system, algebrac approach, mult-delvery, rework INRODUCION Managers of producton plannng constantly seek ways to ncrease machne utlzaton, assure qualty of products, and reduce relevant operatng costs. he most economcal batch sze was frst ntroduced by aft [2] to mnmze total producton-nventory cost, wheren some smple assumptons of hs model nclude perfect producton process, fabrcaton of sngle product, and contnuous end tem ssung polcy. However, producton of defectve tems s nevtable, due to varous unexpected or uncontrollable factors. Many studes have been performed to address dfferent aspects of mperfect producton stuatons and ther subsequent matters [3-12]. Certan defectve/nonconformng features of products can sometmes be reworked, so they can keep hold of the acceptable qualty [13-18].Also, n real supply-chan systems, the dstrbuton of end products are often handled by dverse dscontnuous mult-shpment polces [19-25]. In order to ncrease machne utlzaton, fabrcaton of multproduct on a sngle machne can be an effectve operatng strategy. Durng past decades, studes relatng to varous aspects of mult- product fabrcaton systems have been extensvely explored [26-32]. Further, when multple products sharng a common part, the delayed dfferentaton strategy s often consdered wth the am of shortenng producton cycle length and reducng total relevant system costs [33-38]. Chu et al. [1] derved the optmal producton-shpment solutons and nvestgated the effect of delayed dfferentaton on a multproduct vendor-buyer ntegrated nventory system wth rework, usng mathematcal modelng and conventonal dfferental calculus method. Unlke the needs of usng dfferental calculus, Grubbstrom and Erdem [39] ntroduced an algebrac approach to solve a specfc economc order quantty (EOQ) problem wthout usng dervatves. A few studes employed the same/smlar approach to resolve varous aspects of lot szng problems n fabrcaton and/or vendor-buyer ntegrated supply-chan systems [40-42]. kewse, ths paper extends such a smplfed approach to reexamne the multproduct problem descrbed n [1]. and demonstrate that the optmal solutons can be derved wthout dervatves. 8144

HE PROBEM, MODEING AND PROPOSED MEHOD he problem as n [1] s a mult-product sngle-machne vendor buyer ntegrated system wth features of delayed dfferentaton and rework process. Annual product demand s λ for dfferent products (where = 1, 2,, ) and these products share a common part. wo-stage fabrcaton process s used, wheren the frst stage only produces common parts, at a rate of P 1,0, and upon completon of stage 1, dfferent lots of common parts are made ready for the producton n the second stage, where dfferent end products are fabrcated at a rate of P 1, (where = 1, 2,, ) n sequence under the common producton cycle tme polcy (Fgure 1). he objectves are to ncrease utlzaton, shorten producton cycle tme, and mnmze total producton- nventory-delvery costs. reparable, thru rework processes at a rate of P 2, (where = 0, 1, 2,, ) n the end of regular producton processes n each stage (see Fgures 1 and 2). No shortages are allowed, so we have (P 1, d 1, λ ) > 0 for = 0, 1, 2,,.
