Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the potential of linear programming (LP) when paired with variable planning intervals in aggregate production scheduling. It does so in the context of a meat-packing operation but with broad applicability to similar industrial environments. The author was motivated to write this book after successfully implementing an LP-based planning system at the Peerless Provisioners, a pork-oriented meat packer. The author illustrates the key issues raised by the use of LP that informed the design of the Peerless Provisioners system. These include how best to aggregate model data, how to present output to management, and how often to run the model and present output. Throughout the book, the author provides examples from Peerless Provisioners to illustrate the discussed concepts and emphasizes the importance of designing a system that guides management but does not drive it, and that can respond quickly to changes in the market. This book is theoretically sound but practically grounded, making it an excellent resource for anyone interested in understanding how to apply statistical techniques to production scheduling. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
