Abstract

This paper studies an integrated procurement-production-delivery system in a supply chain. In this model a manufacturing facility purchases a fixed quantity of raw material from outside supplier, processes the materials, and delivers a fixed quantity of finished products to a buyer periodically. The model developed in the paper is used to determine optimal economic lot size for raw material procurement, production setup and finished goods delivering under an infinite planning horizon. The price decrease in raw material as observed in high-tech industries and its impact on the cost of finished goods are considered in the study. An efficient algorithm is developed for obtaining the optimal solution.
