In this paper, a multi products single machine economic production quantity model with
discrete delivery is developed. A unique cycle length is considered for all produced items with
an assumption that all products are manufactured on a single machine with a limited capacity.
The proposed model considers different items such as production, setup, holding, and
transportation costs. The resulted model is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear
programming model. Harmony search algorithm, extended cutting plane and particle swarm
optimization methods are used to solve the proposed model. Two numerical examples are used
to analyze and to evaluate the performance of the proposed model.
