A Simulation Model for Evaluating Joint Production Planning Policies for Molds and End Items

摘要：

This study describes a simulation model of a serial production system consisting of two parts, the first of which produces molds which are subsequently used in the second part which produces end items. Any shortfall in molds has negative repercussions on the ability to meet promised item due-dates, thus the need for a coordinated production plan. Some of the inputs considered are the item demand, shortage costs and holding costs, as well as the statistical lifetime distribution (in terms of number of uses) and holding costs of the molds. The simulation model allows for the evaluation of alternative production planning policies, characterized by the production rate of molds and ordering policy of end items, thereby providing management with valuable insights for decision making.
