A Markov decision model for optimising economic production lot size under stochastic demand

Traditional approaches towards determining the economic production lot (EPL) size in manufacturing applications assume deterministic demand, often at a constant rate. In this paper, an optimisation model is developed for determining the EPL size that minimises production and inventory costs of a per...
