A STUDY OF THE OPTIMAL SWITCHING POINT OF THE LIMITED-CYCLE PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE PERIODS

摘要：

In the production process of multi periods, the result or efficiency of a period is often controlled not only by the risks of this period but also by the risks generated beforehand. In such situations, delay of one process may influence the delivery date of an entire process. We consider controlling the production process by switching the processing rate to a faster one at a given point (time or period). This paper considers the optimal switching point (time) to minimize the total expected cost of the production process. In this paper, first, the optimal switching problem is systematically classified and the corresponding model is presented. Next, the mathematic formulation of the total expectation for the above case is proposed. Finally, the optimal switching point is investigated in detail by numerical experiments.
