In this paper we study the problem of determining a production schedule for an order of n jobs on a single machine which is subject to stochastic machine failures. To avoid long downtime of the machine caused by unexpected failures, preventive maintenance should be planned as well. If a failure...

In this paper we study a single stage, periodic-review inventory problem for a single item with stochastic demand. The inventory manager determines order sizes according to an order-up-to logic and observes a random yield due to quality problems in the production. We distinguish between two...
