The Production of Several Items in a Single Facility with Linearly Changing Demand Rates
将经济批量调度问题扩展至需求率线性变化的情形，建立模型评估需求变动对生产成本和客户服务的影响，并用实际数据演示如何支持生产与营销的协调规划。
ABSTRACT In this paper we extend the ELSP model to allow for linearly changing demand rates over a fixed planning horizon. This extension of the ELSP research provides a model that can be used in coordinating the production and marketing planning activities in a firm. The model allows the user to evaluate the impact of changes in product demand on production costs and customer service. We solve the model using a standard nonlinear programming package (MINOS) and show through examples based on actual production data how the model can be used to support coordinated production and marketing planning.
