Economic production quantity model with variable machining rates and product quality

The literature has several models that jointly determine the economic production quantity (EPQ) and the rate of production. Very few models define production rate explicitly. In this article, the cutting speed controls the production rate and the proportion nonconforming. Thus, we propose a model th...
