Manufacturing Inventory and Supply Analysis: A Mathematical Modelling Approach

This reference text discusses models and analyzes cases that are useful for material requirements planning (MRP), just-in-time (JIT) environments and supply chain environments, as well as traditional production-inventory systems.

It covers important concepts, including production-inventory systems, optimal purchase quantity, optimal production quantity, instantaneous procurement, multiple input items, sensitivity analysis, multiproduct manufacturing, determination of optimum cycle time, frac...
