Master a practical approach to balancing demand and production with a proven scheduling policy.

This nonfiction work analyzes how a Brownian-model framework guides release and sequencing decisions in a single‑server, multiclass make‑to‑stock setting. In Dynamic Scheduling of a Multiclass Make‑to‑Stock Queue, the authors adapt advanced theory to a production context, showing how to keep the machine busy while controlling costs across multiple products.

Learn how weighted finished goods inventory guides when the line should run or pause, and which product classes get priority.
Discover how a simple, implementable rule can coordinate release decisions with dynamic sequencing to reduce backorder and holding costs.
See how simulation compares the proposed policy against traditional approaches and what the results imply for real factories.
Understand the connection between busy workload, bottlenecks, and cost reduction in a multiclass, make‑to‑stock system.

Ideal for readers of operations research, manufacturing management, and supply chain coursework who want concrete methods backed by Brownian‑motion analysis and practical policy guidance.
