Excerpt from Dynamic Scheduling of a Multiclass Make-to-Stock Queue
The goal of this paper is to investigate the scheduling problem faced by a single machine, make-to - stock production facility in a dynamic stochastic environment. This facility is pictured in Figure 1, where it is assumed that there is an ample amount of raw material inventory of product k, for k 1, K. The scheduler decides when to release a raw product k job onto the shop floor, at which time the job becomes a unit of product k work-in-process (wip) inventory. These decisions will be referred to as release decisions. There is a single machine that transforms units of product k wip inventory into units of product k finished goods inventory. The machine is modeled as a multiclass queue, in that the machine may work on only one unit at a time, and each product has its own general processing time distribution. Demand for each product can be any arbitrary point process that satisfies a functional central limit theorem (for example, a compound Poisson process).

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a dynamic scheduling problem faced by single-server production facilities operating in a dynamic stochastic environment, such as those that produce according to customer demand rather than producing to fixed schedules. The author considers a multi-class queueing system that can process a variety of job classes. After jobs are processed, they enter a finished goods inventory that services customer demand. The scheduling problem involves determining when to release jobs to the queue and which job class, if any, to serve next. The author develops an effective scheduling policy that minimizes the long-run expected average cost incurred per unit time, accounting for backordering finished goods inventory, holding finished goods inventory, and holding work-in-process inventory. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
