In this work, an integrated model of economic production quantity, economic design of an -control chart, and preventive maintenance are investigated under non-uniform quality control parameters. The effect on the expected total cost and quality control cost is investigated with three different assumptions of the quality control parameters. Using a tabu seach algorithm, the optimal values of quality control parameters, for different PM levels, are found. A non-uniform scheme for sampling frequency, sample size and control limit co-efficient provides lower cost as compared to schemes where only sampling frequency is taken as non-uniform.
