Abstract

This paper deals with a production–inventory control model with partial backlogging, in which a reflected Brownian motion governs the inventory level variation. We consider a single storage facility with infinite capacity and assume that shortages are allowed and the total amount of stock-out is a mixture of backordering and lost sales. In addition, the production facility is controlled by a two-parameter (m, M) policy, which switches the production rate when the inventory level reaches the threshold values. The aim is to determine the optimal control parameters m and M by minimising the long-run total expected cost of the system. Some results are illustrated using numerical examples. A sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution with respect to major parameters is also carried out.
