  3. Acceptance Sampling: An Application

    Authors: Narayanan, N; Korgaonker, M G; Kalro, A H;

    Reference No: PROD0165 Pages: 3 Published on: 1, January, 1980

    Abstract: Deals with the problems of acceptance sampling by attributes. It involves evaluation of some sampling inspection plans used for a transcription project, and design of an inspection plan for a pre?specified average outgoing quality limit, which will ensure minimum average Total Inspection. Rectifying Inspection is presupposed and the problem ... More

    Authors: Korgaonker, M G;

    Reference No: PROD0166TEC Pages: 1 Published on: 1, January, 1980

    Abstract: This problem deals with the methodology of finding a minimum cost acceptance-sampling plan where the relevant costs are the cost of inspection and the cost of undetected defectives. Sampling is by attributes. ... More

  8. Capacity and its Measurement

    Authors: Korgaonker, M G;

    Reference No: PROD0162TEC Pages: 4 Published on: 1, January, 1980

    Abstract: This note deals with the capacity measurement of a production system. Various factors influencing capacity are highlighted, and their effects on capacity measurement are discussed. ... More

    Authors: Shukla, P R;

    Reference No: PROD0175(E)TEC Pages: 11 Published on: 1, January, 1982

    Abstract: Discusses the basic inventory systems for controlling inventories under uncertain demand and lead-time. The continuous review system and periodic review system are discussed, and determination of control parameters for the two systems is explained. The concepts of service level, safety stock and reorder point are discussed, and formulas for determining ... More

  12. Basic Inventory Models: Part III: Models for Quantity Discounts

    Authors: Shukla, P R;

    Reference No: PROD0175(C)TEC Pages: 16 Published on: 1, January, 1982

    Abstract: Discusses the models for determining economic order quantities when quantity discounts are given. The models with "all unit" discount and "incremental" discount are presented and economic order quantity for each case is determined. Illustrative examples for each case are provided to show the use of the model and the determination ... More

  13. Basic Inventory Models (Part I): Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Models

    Authors: Shukla, P R;

    Reference No: PROD0175(A)TEC Pages: 11 Published on: 1, January, 1982

    Abstract: Introduces the functions of inventories and various costs relevant for inventory management. The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model with deterministic demand and lead-time is discussed and basic derivations of the model are presented. Sensitivity of cost to various parameters of the model is discussed. Finally, the EOQ model with back ... More
