An integrated production-inventory deteriorating model for pricing policy considering imperfect production, inspection planning and warranty-period-and stock-level-dependant demand

Abstract: In marketing, enterprises try all motivated selling strategies to stimulate customers to buy a product. One of these selling strategies is a warranty policy that provides a return promise of free replacement. The buyer may place more orders because of the display of the product. An increasing demand resulting from these motivated factors influences the replenishment planning. In operational process, quality level resulting in relevant activities may cause changes of operational planning. The purpose of this study is to investigate an integrated production inventory deteriorating model considering the pricing policy, the imperfect production, the inspection planning, the warranty-period and the stock-level-dependant demand with the Weibull deterioration, partial backorder and inflation. We incorporate a single-retailer single-manufacturer cooperation from the perspectives of both the manufacturer and the retailer. The classical optimisation technique and the heuristic method are used to derive the optimum solutions. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are presented.

Optimal Design of Magnetically Actuated Optical Image Stabilizer Mechanism for Cameras in Mobile Phones via Genetic Algorithm

Abstract: This paper proposes an optimal electromagnetic actuator for the application of optical image stabilization in cameras of mobile phones. The image stabilization composes of vertical and horizontal moving platforms to compensate the shaking from hands. The platforms are actuated by the magnetic force from voice coil motors (VCMs). For the application of mobile devices, geometry size of the mechanism is extremely limited. However, the larger the size of yoke that covers the magnetic field is, the better uniformity it will perform. This study, therefore, is dedicated to conduct an optimal design with the coupled relationship between magnetic field and mechanical geometry. The magnetic field is converted to equivalent circuit in terms of mechanism geometry, and verified by ANSYS. The genetic algorithm (GA) is then applied for deriving optimal values of geometry dimensions of the system within satisfactory uniform magnetic field
