The present paper considers the effect of imperfect quality items on a production system which further undergoes inspection and rework. The demand of the product is price reliant. Two situations to handle the imperfect items are analyzed: selling them at a reduced price and reworking them. The demand is assumed to meet with perfect products in either case. Further, the study incorporates the carbon-emissions borne during production of goods and their holding in the inventory system. The model aims at maximizing the profit function by jointly optimizing mark-up price and production quantity. To demonstrate model characteristics, numerical and sensitivity analysis are also presented.

In every production system, malfunctioning or breakdown during run time can incur heavy loss to the organization, to overcome such a situation it is crucial to use maintenance actions which can be either corrective or preventive depending upon the condition of the system. Also, warranty policy is extensively used world-wide to increase customer confidence in the product and to uplift sales. On account of this, the present chapter presents a problem of a manufacturer dealing with an imperfect production system considering maintenance actions and warranty policy by trading off the rework cost, holding cost, warranty cost and corrective/preventive maintenance cost so as to minimize the manufacturer's total cost. Numerical analysis and sensitivity analysis is performed to showcase model features.

Maintenance usually plays a key role in controlling a multi-component production system within normal operations. Furthermore, the failure of components in the production system will also cause large economic losses for users due to the shutdown. Meanwhile, manufacturers of the production system will be confronted with the challenges of the warranty cost. Therefore, it is of great significance to optimize the maintenance strategy to reduce the downtime and warranty cost of the system. Opportunistic maintenance (OM) is a quite important solution to reduce the maintenance cost and improve the system performance. This paper studies the OM problem for multi-component systems with economic dependence under base warranty (BW). The irregular imperfect preventive maintenance (PM) is performed to reduce the failure rate of components at a certain PM reliability threshold. Moreover, the OM optimization model is developed to minimize the maintenance cost under the optimal OM reliability threshold of each component. A simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is proposed to determine the optimal maintenance cost of the system and the optimal OM threshold under BW. Finally, a numerical example of a belt conveyor drive device in a port is introduced to demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed model in maintenance cost optimization.

We consider a production-inventory system that consists of an input-generating installation, a production unit andLintermediate buffers. It is assumed that the installation transfers the raw material to buffer and the production unit pulls the raw material from buffer We consider the problem of the optimal preventive maintenance of the installation if the installation deteriorates stochastically with usage and the production unit is always in operative condition. We also consider the problem of the optimal preventive maintenance of the production unit if the production unit deteriorates stochastically with usage and the installation is always in operative condition. Under a suitable cost structure and for given contents of the buffers, it is proved that the average-cost optimal policy for the first (second) problem initiates a preventive maintenance of the installation (production unit) if and only if the degree of deterioration of the installation (production unit) exceeds some critical level. Numerical results are presented for both problems.
