Abstract: In this paper, we consider the economic production quantity problem in the presence of imperfect processes. In the literature, the time to shift from the in‐control state to the out‐of‐control state is assumed to be exponentially distributed. In this study, we consider general time to shift distributions and provide distribution‐based and distribution‐free bounds on the optimal cost. For the exponential case, we compare the optimal solutions to approximate solutions proposed in the literature. A numerical example is used to illustrate the analysis presented and to conduct a sensitivity analysis in order to see the effect of the input parameters on the various solutions to the problem. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
