Capacity Dilemma: Economic Scale Size versus Demand Fulfillment
نویسنده
چکیده
A firm tends to associate capacity planning with economic scale size and demand fulfillment for profit maximization. However, it is troublesome capacity dilemmas to achieve both of them simultaneously in stochastic environment. We propose a multi-objective stochastic programming with data envelopment analysis (DEA) constraints to find a compromise efficient benchmark.

The Most Productive Scale Compared to Demand Fulfillment (Case Study: Insurance Companies)
Economics depends on the economic scale of planning. Economists study the characteristics of the production function, while community operating management focuses on demand realization, so that loss of sales or inventory prevents cost reductions and maximizes profits. However, companies with a lack of capacity need to achieve economies of scale and demand to realize them simultaneously, especia...

The indicators used in economics to calculate the productivity scale are not always positive, therefore, existing models need to be developed to calculate the productivity scale for the semi-negative and semi-positive output index. However, companies with a lack of capacity need to achieve economies of scale and demand for realization simultaneously in the presence of a negative outflow index, ...

متن کامل‘BALANCING AND SEQUENCING’ VERSUS ‘ONLY BALANCING’ IN MIXED MODEL U-LINE ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS: AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
With the growth in customers’ demand diversification, mixed-model U-lines (MMUL) have acquired increasing importance in the area of assembly systems. There are generally two different approaches in the literature for balancing such systems. Some researchers believe that since the types of models can be very diverse, a balancing approach without simultaneously sequencing of models will not yield...
متن کاملIntegrated optimization of safety stock and transportation capacity
We consider a segment of a supply chain comprising an inventory system and a transportation system that cooperate in the fulfillment of stochastic customer orders. The inventory system is operated under a discrete time (s, q) policy with backorders. In a system of this kind accumulated backorders introduce lumpiness of transportation demand into the system. We study the connection between the s...
