The solution methods consist of an optimizing procedure based on the transportation model formulation. The output consists of the optimal production schedule and cost report for each product. For each model, the program reports the optimum order quantity, total cost, holding cost, setup or order cost, and length of the cycle. Components may include up to 4 sub- components. The input data consist of the master production schedule, bill of materials, inventory record file, and scheduled receipts.
Output consists of the time phase plan and cost report for all components or a selected component.
Both deterministic activity times and three level time estimate problems can be solved. N. Each activity also receives a separate number although it can also be identified by its two end nodes. The process control model provides the mean and the lower and upper control limits for mean, range, and p and c control charts on the basis of number of defectives found in each of the specified samples.
