A Transportation Type Aggregate Production Model with Backordering
研究一个允许正常和加班生产、并允许延期交货的综合生产计划模型，提出一种非迭代的简单求解方法，可手工计算。
In this paper we consider a certain aggregate production planning model. This model permits regular and overtime production and allows for backordering of goods for a number of periods. Although the discussed model can be formulated as a linear programming problem a special (noniterative) method is developed. First the optimal level of each mode of production is determined for each period. Then the complete solution is immediately constructed. This procedure is so simple that it can be also implemented via pencil and paper. Several computational improvements as well as problem variations are discussed.
