Abstract: | Whereas operational research concentrates on optimization, practitioners find the robustness of a proposed solution more important. Therefore this paper presents a practical methodology that is a stagewise combination of tour proven techniques: (1) simulation, (2) optimization, (3) risk or uncertainty analysis, and (4) bootstrapping. This methodology is illustrated through a producition-control study. This illustration defines robustness as the capability to maintain shorterm service, in a variety of environments (scenarios); this is, the probability of the short-term fill-rate remains within a prespecified range. |
