Impact of the Setup Variable on Capacity and Inventory Decisions
研究在产能受限的生产库存环境中，将设置时间作为决策变量时，产能扩张、订单量调整与设置时间缩短之间的相互关系，并构建模型评估这些决策变量的相对有效性。
This paper examines the operating characteristics of setup when used as a decision variable in a capacity-constrained production-inventory environment. Within this study, the interrelationships among capacity expansion, order quantity adjustment, and setup time reduction are analyzed, and a model is formulated to evaluate the relative effectiveness of these decision variables. A series of propositions is presented to suggest future directions for research.
