A Study on the Seat Setting of the Production Seat Booking System “For the Make-To-Stock Manufacturing Process”

抄録

This study deals with the production seat booking system for the make-to-stock manufacturing process. This system comprises scheduling that resembles an airline or train booking system. The seat setting as production capacity control is an important part of this system, because of such problems as too many seats (which cause idling time) or too few seats (which cause missed opportunities due to delivery delays) in the actual manufacturing processes using this system. This study considers two controllable parameters. The first is to reserve production capacity and the second is to set standard inventory levels in the seat setting. We suggest the control method of the seat setting to support decision-making for schedulers in the actual manufacturing process, according to showing the estimation method of two controllable parameters to minimize the inventory cost as criteria by multiple regression analysis.
