โฆ Synopsis
The model determines an economic manufacturing quantity and recommends a raw material ordering policy to deliver a fixed amount of finished products at a regular interval within the production cycle time. In this paper, we estimate the batch size from the lower bound concept of the JIT delivery amount. An efficient algorithm is developed to compute the optimal or near optimal batch sizes for both manufacturing and raw material ordering policies. Results and computational complexity of the problem are also discussed

Great emphasis is given by literature to the fragility of just-in-time production systems, due to the different sources of uncertainty which usually affect industrial operations.
