A Sustainable Production Model with Quality Improvement and By-Product Management

Reducing setup costs and improving product quality are critical objectives in a sustainable production processes. The significance of these goals lies in their direct impact on efficiency. It affects competitiveness and customer satisfaction. Businesses can reduce setup costs to maximize resource usage. It can reduce downtime between production runs and improve overall operational agility. Sustained performance and expansion in contemporary manufacturing environments focus on setup cost reduction and product quality improvement. The present paper discusses a production inventory model for the product, which produces by-products as secondary products from the same manufacturing process. Setup cost is reduced for the setup of production and refining processes. A production process may change from being under control to an uncontrolled one. As a result of this, imperfect products are formed. This paper considers product quality improvement for both produced and processed items. The outcome shows that dealing with by-products helps make the system more profitable. Sensitivity analysis is performed for various costs and parameters. Mathematica 11 software was used for calculation and graphical work.

Abstract

Reducing setup costs and improving product quality are critical objectives in a sustainable production processes. The significance of these goals lies in their direct impact on efficiency. It affects competitiveness and customer satisfaction. Businesses can reduce setup costs to maximize resource usage. It can reduce downtime between production runs and improve overall operational agility. Sustained performance and expansion in contemporary manufacturing environments focus on setup cost reduction and product quality improvement. The present paper discusses a production inventory model for the product, which produces by-products as secondary products from the same manufacturing process. Setup cost is reduced for the setup of production and refining processes. A production process may change from being under control to an uncontrolled one. As a result of this, imperfect products are formed. This paper considers product quality improvement for both produced and processed items. The outcome shows that dealing with by-products helps make the system more profitable. Sensitivity analysis is performed for various costs and parameters. Mathematica 11 software was used for calculation and graphical work.
