Synopsis

This book presents a method for optimizing production and distribution systems through the use of a mathematical model called PRAMSYS. The model was developed for the ArON corporation, a major producer of industrial gases, and has been in active use for over a year in the company's Mid-Atlantic region. The author demonstrates how an integrating model can be used to bring the company's technical expertise in production and process engineering to bear on larger strategic issues. The book also discusses the evolution of the model and the application together over the course of the project through an interplay between practical, computational, and theoretical considerations. The book concludes that cost reductions in production and distribution can be achieved in concert, and that this kind of coordinated planning can be a relatively untapped area in which a company can distinguish itself from its competitors.
