| Abstract | Two inventory models are developed for multi-component assembly systems. The first model
addresses the problem of determining planned lead times in a two component, two serial production
stage assembly system with stochastic lead times, with the objective of minimizing the sum of
holding costs and tardiness costs at each stage. Due dates for the batch are assumed for each stage,
before which a stage cannot commence. An algorithm is developed which exploits properties of the
objective function to find the optimal solution.
The second model addresses the problem of determining production I order quantity and
planned lead times for components in an assembly system where the demand occurs at a uniform
rate, and supply lead times are stochastic. The objective is to minimize the sum of the setup cost,
holding costs and the cost of backlogging due to stockouts. An algorithm is presented for a two
components case, using convexity properties of the objective function. |
