A Case Study of Batch Production Inventory System

A Case Study about Batch Production Inventory System

The plant of BASF under consideration consists of multiple parallel production lines, which produce multiple products in a make-to-stock fashion for process industry. Complicating factors for planning are the stochastic demand, setup times, batch processing and finite buffer capacities.



Case Study on Batch Production

The main contribution is the development of a three-stage methodology integrating production and inventory decisions, which can be used for the evaluation and optimization of a wide range of batch-production/inventory systems. Implementation of this methodology in a decision support tool enabled us to identify major opportunities for improvement of current practice.

A Case Study of Inventory Control of Spare Parts Using a Bayesian Approach

A Case Study about Inventory Control of Spare Parts Using a Bayesian Approach

Abstract: This paper presents a case study of applying a Bayesian approach to forecast demand and subsequently determine the appropriate parameter S of an (S-1,S) inventory system for controlling spare parts of electronic equipment. First, the problem and the current policy are described. Then, the basic elements of the Bayesian approach are introduced and the procedure for calculating the appropriate parameter S is illustrated. Finally, we present the results of applying the Bayesian approach in an innovative way to determine the stock levels of three types of circuit packs at several locations. According to the proposed method, a lower base stock than the one currently used is sufficient to achieve the desired service level.



Case Study on Inventory Control

Introduction: Inventory control of spare parts plays an increasingly important role in modern operations management. The trade-off is clear: on one hand a large amount of spare parts ties up a large amount of capital, while on the other hand too little inventory may result in poor customer service or extremely costly emergency actions. This paper studies a specific case, where a company producing circuit packs as spare parts for telephone switching systems has a policy of keeping its customers content by maintaining a sufficiently high service level. The company, which for confidentiality purposes will be called by the fictitious name “Katharo Technik”, KT for brevity, designs, develops and manufactures communication systems.

Case Study on Stakeholder Analysis Exercise

Worldwide Conservation Alliance (WCA) hired a new staff person to manage its ten-year-old preserve in the western part of Arcadia County, in the state of Bliss. Previously, the preserve had no onsite staff, and most local residents lived their lives in near-complete ignorance of Worldwide Conservation Alliance. An examination of WCA’s membership database reveals that it has some 750 members in the county, 80% of whom reside in the county’s more urban eastern communities. The preserve consists of three small tracts, 600 acres in all, bordering a small river, which overflows its banks annually. WCA was attracted to the property because the area provides important habitat for several species of rare darters, scores of neotropical songbirds, and the purple-legged frog, which is under consideration for designation as an endangered species.
