An EPQ Model with Unit Production Cost and Set-Up Cost as Functions of Production Rate by Behrouz Afshar-Nadjafi

“…However, no attention has been paid to problems where unit production and set-up costs must be considered as functions of production rate. In this paper, we address the problem of determining the optimal production quantity and rate of production in which unit production and set-up costs are assumed to be continuous functions of production rate. …”
