Research Initiation: Multi-Product Multi-Stage Production Inventory Systems

生产和库存系统的模型经常被用于 制造系统的设计和性能研究。 尽管 它们的潜在适用性，它们的使用并不广泛。 这是 主要原因是缺乏全面的分析工具， 制造系统。 拟议的研究旨在纠正这种情况， 提出了以下三个任务：1）设计精确和近似 分析生产/库存系统网络的程序， 有限的在制品库存。 2)开发精确的算法， 研究单阶段、多品种生产/库存系统（R，r） 库存控制策略和切换规则。 3)纳入 第2部分中开发的算法转换为 第1部分能够学习多阶段，多项目投影/ 库存系统。

Models of production and inventory systems are frequently employed in the design and performance studies of manufacturing systems. Despite their potential applicability, their use is not widespread. This is mainly due to the absence of comprehensive tools for analyzing manufacturing systems. The proposed research aims at rectifying this situation by carrying out the following three tasks: 1) Devise exact and approximate procedures for analyzing networks of production/inventory systems with finite work-in-process inventories. 2) Develop exact algorithms to study single-stage, multi-item production/inventory systems with (R,r) inventory control policies and switch-over rules. 3) Incorporate the algorithms developed in Part 2 into the approximation algorithms of Part 1 to be able to study multi-stage, multi-item projection/ inventory systems.
