Dynamic production control for determined quantity and deadline

Abstract

The Dynamic Production Plan (DPP) Model for reaching an optimal control of the production undergoing the limitations of future obtainable working hour capacity and unreliable machines is proposed in this paper. It can be applied to the evaluation of a firm’s capability of accepting the new order or not. It is also suggested that the deadline of the production, maintenance cost of an unreliable machine, order quantity, and the production yield should be taken into considerations. In addition, sensitivity analyses of the key variables of optimal solution are presented. Actually, this study efficiently provides a dynamic updating tool capable of revising the production plan (rate) at any time for the production planner having great insight.
