This study investigates the outsourcing and production scheduling technology adoption in Taiwan using an empirical approach. Different outsourcing and production scheduling technology adoption are investigated through questionnaires. We found that flexible capability influences customer and...

In this paper, we develop an economic order quantity (EOQ) model for finite production rate and deteriorating items with time dependent increasing demand. The component cost and the selling price are considered at a continuous rate of time. The objective of this model is to maximize the total...

In Moon and Lee's model (2000), they developed a finite planning horizon economic order quantity (EOQ) model with time value of money and inflation. This paper extends Moon and Lee's model to examine a production system with a random life cycle. Two conditions are discussed: the first is when...
