Sinopsis
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.

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).

Excerpt from Dynamic Scheduling of a Multiclass Make-to-Stock Queue
Motivated by make-to-stock production systems, we consider a scheduling problem for a single-server queue that can process a variety of different job classes. After jobs are processed, they enter a finished goods inventory that services customer demand. The scheduling problem is to release jobs to the queue and decide which job class, if any, to serve next in order to minimize the long run expected average cost incurred per unit of time, which includes linear costs (which may differ by class) for backordering finished goods inventory, holding finished goods inventory, and holding Wip inventory. Under the heavy traffic condition that the server must be busy the great majority of the time in order to satisfy customer demand, the scheduling problem is approximated by a dynamic control problem involving Brownian motion. The Brownian control problem is solved, and its solution is interpreted in terms of the queueing system in order to obtain an effective scheduling policy. The proposed scheduling policy releases jobs to the queue only when they are about to begin processing, and keeps the server busy as long as the weighted sum of the finished goods inventory (where the inventory of each class is weighted by its expected processing time) is not too large. When the server is working, priority is given to backlogged classes that are expensive to backlog and have short expected processing times, and when there are no backlogged jobs, priority is given to jobs that are inexpensive to hold in finished goods inventory and have long expected processing times.

Dynamic Scheduling of a Multiclass Make-to-Stock Queue (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: 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. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332245291_0
