An asymptotic analysis of a hierarchical manufacturing system with machines subject to breakdown and repair is presented. The machine fluctuations are much faster than the accumulation and discounting of costs, and this gives rise to a limiting problem in which the stochastic machine...

This paper presents an asymptotic analysis of hierarchical investment and production decisions in a manufacturing system with machines subject to breakdown and repair. The demand facing the system is assumed to be a given constant. The production capacity can be increased by purchasing a new...

We consider a problem of controlling the production rate of a single machine, single product, stochastic manufacturing system in order to minimize the total discounted inventory /backlog costs. The demand has two components: one is deterministic with constant rate d and the other is stochastic...

This paper is concerned with hierarchical control of stochastic manufacturing systems with machines whose capacity states are governed by a Markov process dependent on the rates of production. The objective is to choose production rates that minimize the total inventory/shortage and production...

This paper is concerned with the problem of production planning in a flexible manufacturing system consisting of a single or parallel failure-prone machines producing a number of different products. The objective is to choose the rates of production of the various products over time in order to...

This paper is concerned with explicit optimal control for a deterministic manufacturing system consisting of a single reliable machine and producing two part types studied by Connolly (Master Thesis, Operations Research Center, MIT, Cmbridge, 1992) and Gershwin (Manufacturing Systems...

This paper is concerned with the optimal production planning in a dynamic stochastic manufacturing system consisting of a single machine that is failure prone and facing a constant demand. The objective is to choose the rate of production over time in order to minimize the long-run average cost...

We are interested in obtaining rates of production of intermediate parts and finished products in a manufacturing system consisiting of a network of machines. The objective is to meet demand for finished products at the minimum possible total discounted cost of production, inventories, and...
