Optimal decision-making for a single-stage manufacturing system with rework options

This study investigates a manufacturing system with a single-stage production system that sometimes produces imperfect items. In this system, we assume that the rework process can start after the regular production process (immediate rework) or when the inventory of perfect goods is equal to zero (delayed rework). Also, we assumed non-zero set-up time for rework. Two models are presented for manufacturing systems with re-workable goods. The...
