Research Initiation: Strategies for Dealing with Demand andYield Uncertainty in Multi-Stage Production Systems

本研究的目的是发展数学方法， 确定安全库存量，以便最经济地处理 当多阶段生产系统 被使用。 将研究三种类型的生产： 订货;按库存生产;以及在需求超过生产能力的情况下进行生产。 这项工作如果成功，应有助于管理人员决定 在不确定性面前的生产水平。

The purpose of this research is to develop mathematical methods of determining safety stock quantities for dealing most economically with uncertainties in demand and supply when multistage production systems are used. Three kinds of production will be investigated: make to order; make to stock; and production where demand exceeds capacity. The work, if successful, should assist managers in deciding on production levels in the face of uncertainties.
