Simulation-based Order Acceptance in Make-to-order Manufacturing Systems

Submitting Author: Dr. Amitava Nandi

Abstract:
Simulation is a powerful decision-making tool, which can be used to decide whether a candidate order should be accepted or rejected by a manufacturing system. Such a simulation-based order acceptance rule has been presented and a couple of important features of the rule have been highlighted. Modeling such a simulation-based order acceptance rule is challenging and requires resolving many issues. This paper discusses these issues. The lessons learnt from this modeling experience are generic and can be used in similar contexts.
