Discrete Optimal Control of Production Plans.

Abstract

The report discussion demonstrates the application of discrete optimal control theory to production planning problems. In particular it is shown that most of the previous models which have appeared in the literature on production planning (scheduling, smoothing and work force balancing) and can be characterized as special cases of the control theory problem formulation. This more general model relaxes a number of the assumptions required by other formulations in capturing a wide spectrum of production planning policies. A computational algorithm is provided and solution results are included for numerical examples. (Author)
