Note—Controlling Inventories in an Acyclic Assembly System
针对面临产出损失和需求不确定的无环装配系统，提出一种可解析衡量运行特性的生产规则，作为未来比较的基准，并扩展了串行生产系统模型。
This note presents a model of an acyclic assembly system that faces yield loss and uncertain demand. While there is no known production rule for managing acyclic systems, we develop a production rule whose operating characteristics could be measured analytically. Thus, the operating characteristics can be used as a benchmark for future comparison. To facilitate our analysis, we extend the model for a serial production system that produces a single product (Tang 1990). This extension entails a modification of the production rule and the analysis of a decomposition scheme.
