Abstract

In the case of the manufacturer–supplier relationship, suppliers are often advised to speedup their activities or expedite their operations. This leads to enhancing the production rate. In many cases, quality defects increase with an increase in production rate. In the absence of a suitable analytical tool, a supplier may become hesitant to decide in favor of this decision. In previous research by the author, a modification has been suggested concerning the flexibility in production rate. That formulation has been used with an inclusion of quality level to analyze the discussed case in this paper. Every company also faces this problem from time to time whether it is in supply chain relationship or independent. The proposed discussion is expected to be useful in many business/industrial situations.
