Abstract

This paper is concerned with the optimal production planning in a dynamic stochastic manufacturing system consisting of a single machine that is failure prone and facing a constant demand. The objective is to choose the rate of production over time in order to minimize the long-run average cost of production and surplus. The analysis proceeds with a study of the corresponding problem with a discounted cost. It is shown using the vanishing discount approach that the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation for the average cost problem has a solution giving rise to the minimal average cost and the so-called potential function. The result helps in establishing a verification theorem. Finally, the optimal control policy is specified in terms of the potential function.
