In modern environment-oriented manufacturing, green environmental considerations are made in numerous phases of production operations. In this paper, the operation logic steps used to determine the production lot size in a production system based on an inventory level rule are structured and analyzed. Additionally, a new environmental management accounting method, Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA), is adopted to identify and calculate environmental waste hidden in the production processes. Moreover, a simulation model integrating the two methods described above is constructed. Based on the simulation data, the effect of the relationship between production lot size and negative product costs is determined. The impact curve demonstrates a regular trend. From the results of the study, it is showed that different determination strategies for production lot size have significant effects on environment costs.
