A Review on the Dynamic Decision Models for Manufacturing and Supply Chain

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Decision Models in Engineering and Management

Part of the book series: Decision Engineering ((DECENGIN))

Abstract

Manufacturing sites are primarily dynamic, that is, production plans and schedules are usually affected by disturbances and environmental changes. On the other hand, the decision analysis models for engineering management must aim to represent reality with accuracy. Thus, the study of the dynamic models in the engineering management field is paramount. In this chapter, dynamic decision models for manufacturing and supply chain are discussed. First, an overall review of the deterministic dynamic models based on control theory and state representation is presented. After that, a set of models specifically applied to scheduling and production control is discussed in detail. A comparative analysis of these models is also presented, followed by some directions for future research.
