An optimum batch size for a production system operating under a continuous supply/demand

A manufacturing system which procures raw materials from suppliers in a lot and processes them to convert to finished products is considered in this paper. An ordering policy is proposed for raw materials to meet the requirements of a production facility which, in turn, must deliver finished produ...

A manufacturing system which procures raw materials from suppliers in a lot and processes them to convert to finished products is considered in this paper. An ordering policy is proposed for raw materials to meet the requirements of a production facility which, in turn, must deliver finished products demanded by outside consumers at constant rate.
