ab: Summary: This paper presents a two-phase algebraic approach for jointly
    determining the lot size and delivery policy in a vendor-buyer
    integrated system with rework. Conventional method uses the
    differential calculus for solving production-shipment problem with the
    need for proving optimality first on the system cost function. This
    study proposes a two-phase algebraic solution procedure to derive the
    optimal lot size as well as optimal number of deliveries without using
    derivatives. The proposed approach enables practitioners who maybe
    without sufficient knowledge of calculus to understand such a specific
    real world problem with ease.
