Varying Lot Size Model With Equal And Unequal Sized Batch And Varying Numbers Of Batches For Multi-Stage Production In Palm Oil Mill

In palm oil industry, production cost for crude palm oil varies from time-to-time. Therefore, accurate decisions on production volume and timing are critical. This can be done by adopting inventory models into palm oil industry to identify the major cost influencing factors as well as the specific u...
