The production–inventory system is a problem of multivariable input and multivariant output in mathematics. Selecting the best system control parameters is a crucial managerial decision to achieve and dynamically maintain an optimal performance in terms of balancing the order rate and stock level under dynamic influence of many factors affecting the system operations. The dynamic performance of the popular APIOBPCS model and the newly modified 2APIOBPCS model for optimal control of production–inventory systems is examined in the study. This examination is based on the leveled ground with a new simulation scheme that incorporates a designated multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm into the simulation, which enables the optimal set of system control parameters to be selected for achieving the situational best possible performance of the production–inventory system under study. The dynamic performance is measured by the variance ratio between the order rate and the sales rate related to the bullwhip effect, and the integral of absolute error related to the inventory responsiveness in response to a random customer demand. Our simulation indicates that the 2APIOBPCS model performed better than or at least no worse than, and more robust than the APIOBPCS model under different conditions.

In recent times, in the literature of inventory management there exists a notorious interest in production-inventory models focused on imperfect production processes with a deterministic time horizon. Nevertheless, it is well-known that there is a high influence and impact caused by the learning effect on the production-inventory models in the random planning horizon. This research work formulates a mathematical model for a re-workable multi-item production-inventory system, in which the demand of the items depends on the accessible stock and selling revenue. The production-inventory model allows shortages and these are partial backlogged over a random planning horizon. Also, the learning effect on the rework policy, inflation, and the time value of money are considered. The main aim is to determine the optimum production rates that minimize the expected total cost of the multi-item production-inventory system. A numerical example is solved and a detailed sensitivity analysis is conducted in order to study the production-inventory model.
