An optimal production run time with imperfect production processes and allowable shortages

This paper develops a model to determine an optimal run time for a deteriorating production system under allowable shortage. It is assumed that the elapsed time until the production process shift is arbitrarily distributed. We show that there exists a unique optimal production run time to minimize the total relevant cost function. Finally, bounds for the optimal production run time are provided to develop the solution procedure.
