| Abstract: | The authors report on optimizing a "variable yield" machine-fill type of production process with limited capacity n, a fixed demand d and a process yield rate that depends on a controllable mean setting. Using a profit function that includes both the cost of production and a penalty for under-production, the authors show that obtaining an optimal mean setting is straightforward. As the ingredient cost becomes small compared to recycling and production costs, the relative profit is found to be a strongly asymmetric function of the process mean. |
