In a recent study, a manufacturing batch-size and end-product shipment problem with outsourcing, multi-shipment, and rework was investigated using mathematical modeling and derivatives in its solution procedure. This study demonstrates that a simplified two-phase algebraic approach can also solve the problem and decide the cost-minimization policies for batch-size and end-product shipments. Our proposed straightforward solution approach enables the practitioners in the production planning and controlling filed to comprehend and efficiently solve the best replenishing batch-size and shipment policies of this real problem.
