| Abstract: | With the recent increase in expense and specialization of equipment, capacity decisions have taken on greater significance. As a result companies are in need of a better understanding of the investment tradeoffs. This paper examines the problem of determining the most profitable capacity configuration for a production line modelled as a series of single server stations. In the context of a constant work-in-process (CONWIP) control system, an algorithm is developed for solving the general problem using a single run simulation procedure. |
