A production ordering system for two-item, two-stage, capacity-constraint production and inventory model

Article Abstract:

The increasingly competitive global market requires companies to put up manufacturing systems that can reduce their lead time and inventory levels and increase their return on investments. One such promising system is the two-item, two-stage, capacity-constraint production and inventory system. Simulation shows that the system reduces fluctuations in total work load and inventory levels.
