ABSTRACT:
This paper is developed a three layer supply chain production-inventory model for supplier, producer and retailer. The model speculates exponential demand and production rate for all member of three-layer supply chain. The model deliberates the effect of commercial policies such as exponential demand rate; production rate is demand dependent, perfect order size of raw material, unit manufacturing price and idle times in assorted sectors on integrating marketing framework. The basic assumption of the model is that manufacturing items are of perfect and imperfect quality. This technique used in different types of production industries like electrical and electronics, paper, pharmaceutical, automobiles etc. Mathematical modeling is used to derive the production rate and order size of raw material for maximum total profit of supply chain. A numerical example including the sensitivity analysis is validated to the outcomes of the production-inventory model.

1. INTRODUCTION:

despatching position. Wee et al. [2007] and Eroglu and Ozemir [2007] accumulated the model of Salameh and Jaber [2000], letting shortages. In a realistic manufacturing surroundings, the defective quality objects could be revised and reconstructed (Sana and Choudhary [2010]; Sana [2010, 2010a]; Sarkar et al. [2010]); therefore, generally manufacturing inventory charges can be condensed prominently (Hayek and Salameh [2001]; Chiu [2003]; Chiu et al. [2004, 2006]). Whole phases from delivery of raw materials to finished goods can be incorporated in a supply chain, consolidating supplier, manufacturer, retailer and customers. A three layer supply chain depends on better performance of business strategies like price, better delivery of goods, quantity deduction, quantity up and down, guarantee of purchase quantity etc. Goyal and Gunasekaran [1995] extended an integrated model for defining the economic production quantity and economic order quantity for raw materials in multi-stage manufacturing framework. Aderohunmu et al. [1995] accomplished the savings of both the retailer and customer when they monitored a supportive approach and mutual cost message along with other information in time. Thomas and Grifin [1996] studied that effective supply chain system needs arrangement and management between the system followers including producers, vendors and mediators if any. Narsimhan and Carter [1998] expressed, a good supply chain system totally depends on the combination of supply of goods and management between providers, producers and consumers. Munson and Rosenblatt [2001] developed two level supply chains to a three level supply chain, including a provider, a producer and a vendor where producer was leader of the supply chain system. Yang and Wee [2001] developed a three-layer supply chain model including supplier, manufacturer and retailer. They proved that cost reduction is more important instead of individual decision of each member of supply chain. Khouja [2003] presumed three-layer system between the followers of the supply chain that lead to significant contraction in total cost. Cardenas-Barron [2007] accumulated the model of Khouja [2003] by numerical technique, including n-stage multi-customer supply chain inventory system. Yao et al. [2007] developed an analytical model that allocate the important supply chain limits, specifically ordering costs and carrying charges, affects the inventory cost savings.
The projected model deliberates a three-layer supply chain including supplier, producer and retailer, who are reliable for execution of the raw materials into finished goods and mark them obtainable to gratify consumer’s demands in time. Inventory and manufacturing policies are prepared at the supplier, producer and retailer stages. The challenge is to accomplish inventory and manufacturing policies through the supply chain so that the total anticipated profit of the supply chain is maximized.
The remnant of this paper is arranged as follows: Section 2 describes essential assumptions and notations. Section 3 describes mathematical model and solutions. Section 4 describes numerical example. Section 5 describes sensitivity analysis. Section 6 concludes the paper. A list of references is also provided.
2. ESSENTIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND NOTATIONS
The mathematical model is developed on the bases of following assumptions:
1. The demand rate is exponential increasing function of time. 2. Production rate is demand dependent
i.e.

D t
, whereD t
be
atand

3. Production cost per unit is a function of production rate. 4. Idle time costs are assumed at supplier’s and producer’s level.Integrated Imperfect Production Process With Exponential Demand Rate
6. Single item products are considered for joint effect of supplier, producer and retailer in a three layer supply chain.
7. Replenishment rate is instantly infinite but its size is finite at producer’s level. 8. Insignificant lead time.
The mathematical model is developed on the bases of following notations: Q Supplier’s replenishment lot size.

3.4. Leader-Follower Association
In this case, producer is the leader; supplier and retailer are the followers. The producer bids followers to (i) buyback of the imperfect items, (ii) limited replacement charges with one time ordering cost (iii) assign buying costs, (iv) count the idle times of followers of the chain and (v) regular delivery agreement at every phase.

5. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS:
To know, how the optimal solution is affected by the parameters, we derive the sensitivity analysis for all
parameters. From the given numerical example, we derive the finest solution for a static subset. The finest values of all parameters in the subset increases or decreases by5%, 5% and10%, 10% . The results of total profit are existing in the following table 1.

6. CONCLUSION:

at low price. A uniform distribution function is followed by the proportional influence of imperfect items. The cost of a unit of manufacturing is a function of manufacturing budget. We consider that producer as leader of the chain and the supplier and retailer are the followers of that chain. The total profit of producer is maximized. The integrated profit is also maximized by adding the profit of supplier, producer and retailer. Chief contributions of this research are exponential demand rate, production rate is demand dependent, idle times, finite replenishment rate and effect of imperfect items on the three-layer supply chain. The unit production cost is increases because the servicing costs of remedial and preclude maintenance is considered. Mathematica is used to derive the optimal solution. A numerical example including the sensitivity analysis is validated to the outcomes of the production-inventory model. Future research can be done for Weibull distribution deterioration under inflation, reverse logistics and shortages are allowed.
