摘要: High demand uncertainty has been a major challenge for production planning in assemble-to-order (ATO) environments. Regulating dealers' demand forecasts, determining appropriate safety stock levels and deciding required capacity levels are some of the typical problems solved by ATO firms. The main objective in this study is therefore to construct a mathematical model to deal with the aforementioned managerial, problems under the consideration of product life cycle. According to the various cost and demand characteristics in different phases of a product life cycle, production managers may apply the proposed model to find a near optimal solution set of regulation factors for dealers' demand forecasts, appropriate levels of safety stocks and the number of key machines. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our model. Significance: This paper presents a linear programming model that integrates the activities of forecasting adjustment, material preparation and key machine quantity determination in an ATO environment. The proposed model reflects the phenomena of a product life cycle passing through the different appearances of the demand and cost in distinct phases.
