Process mean determination with quantity discounts in raw material cost

Article Abstract:

A two-echelon model was developed to identify the process mean in a case in which quantity discounts are present in the raw material acquisition cost. The model developed tries to integrate concepts related with production run size and raw material procurement policy into a single-product production process mean problem. A solution procedure was generated by the model for a joint identification of the process mean, the production setup and the raw material ordering policies..

Customer order scheduling in a general job shop environment

Article Abstract:

The performance of order-based dispatching policies in a general job shop environment, where the environmental factors are due date tightness and shop utilization, is investigated. Specifically, dispatching rules from past job-based studies are compared to some rules adapted to include order characteristics. Sixteen dispatching rules are tested, in which four were found to dominate the rest. Order-based rules also perform better than their job-based counterparts.
