Abstract: | This paper presents and executes an object-oriented linear programming model of a high volume factory. The key results are model-relevant for certain firms operating such factories, providing a generic modeling structure in which to analyze a wide variety of operations; policy relevant for managers and workers since the results demonstrate the cost advantages of cross-trained, flexible workers and inventorying of work-in-progress; product-relevant for operations researchers and management scientists, since a large linear programming model can be developed and used with ease via the bundling of functions within an object-oriented computer software implementation. |
