Development of Educational Materials for Quick Response Component Supply

这项研究的目标是：(1)利用相关软件开发教程、案例研究和游戏式教学模块，以说明快速响应部件供应商集成制造和分销系统设计和运营的方法；以及(2)将这些教学模块分发给其他工程和商业学校，并开始联合开发这些材料的增强功能。本研究将探讨需求预测、生产调度和产成品库存的集成策略，同时实现高客户服务、高产成品周转率和高产能利用率。这项研究的目的是证明这样的策略是可能的，并且可以简单地解释。

The objectives of this research are to: (1) develop tutorial, case study and game-style teaching modules with associated software to illustrate the methodologies for integrated manufacturing and distribution system design and operation for quick response component suppliers; and (2) distribute these teaching modules to other engineering and business schools and initiate joint development of enhancements to these materials. This research will investigate an integrated strategy for demand forecasting, production scheduling, and finished goods inventory stocking that simultaneously achieves high customer service, high finished goods turnover, and high capacity utilization. It is the purpose of the research to demonstrate that such a strategy is possible and can be explained simply.
