Cyclic Scheduling for a Multi-product, Single-facility Production System Operating Under a Just-in-time Delivery Policy
将单产品批量模型扩展到多产品单设施系统，考虑固定和可变设置成本，开发循环调度方案，发现可变设置成本在特定条件下有利。
Sarker and Parija have developed a model for obtaining the optimal batch size for a single-product manufacturing system operating under a fixed-quantity, periodic delivery policy. In this work, the model is extended to a multi-product situation and a single-facility scheduling scheme is developed for the system. Two situations are considered—one with fixed setup cost and the other with variable setup cost. It is observed that setup cost variability is beneficial to the system under certain conditions.
