存貨理論已發展多年且已相當成熟，但是單方面的存貨策略最佳化已無法因應現今快速的競爭。因此，企業之間開始尋求產業上、下游成員間的整合與合作，以供應鏈的觀點進行整合，進而達到供應鏈成員間的全面最佳化已成為當前的趨勢。
　　在多數探討供應鏈聯合經濟批量模式的文獻中，並未探討製造者的個別製程。所以本研究的目的在於以數學規劃建構一個製造商與一個零售商所構成之供應鏈聯合經濟批量的成本模式，期望在最小化供應鏈成員相關成本之下，求得訂購者的經濟訂購批量和製造者個別製程的經濟製造批量。本研究進一步透過敏感度分析探討本研究所建構之模式在品質檢驗時所發生的型I及型II誤差機率、服務水準、補貨前置時間等因素變動時將會對訂購批量或個別製造批量及成本造成何種影響。

　　Although the stock theories have been developing for many years and are quite mature, the optimization unilateral stock strategy hasn’t coped with the rapid competitions nowadays. So the enterprise starts to look for the integration and cooperation of downstream members in the industry in order to do the integration for the supply-chain concept, and then the popularity of the supply-chain between members has become a present trend.
　　Most literature, which discuss about the economic lot quantities model, did not search the individual manufacturing process of the manufacturer. So the purpose of this research designs the cost model of the joint economic lot size which joint a manufacturer and a retailer with mathematics programming, looking forward to get purchaser’s economic ordering quantity and manufacturer’s economic production quantity of individual manufacturing process in the minimum of the related cost of the supply-chain member. Furthermore, this research studies the effect of probability of the type I and type II error, service level and replenishment leading time to order quantity, individual manufacturing and cost through the sensitive analysis.
