Abstract
Products that do not meet the specification criteria of an intended buyer represent a challenge to the producer in maximizing profits. To understand the value of the optimal process target (OPT) set at a profit-maximizing level, a model was developed by Shao et al. (1999) involving multiple markets and finished products having holding costs independent from their quality. Investigation in cases considered previously has involved holding costs as a fixed amount or as a normal random variable independent of the quality characteristic (QC) of the product. Less specific in nature, this study considers more general cases in which the HC can be a truncated normal random variable, which is dependent on the QC of the product.
