| Abstract: | Dynamic part dispatch decisions in electronic test systems with random yield are examined. A discrete time, multiroduct, multistage production system is used as a model for the test system with the objective to minimize the sum of inventory holding, backlogging, and overtime costs over a finite horizon. Exact results for such systems have been limited to either single-stage, multiple time period, or multistage, single time period problems with a single product. Here the linear decision rule and the myopic resource allocation are developed as approximate policies. |
