Development of a Catch Allocation Tool Design for Production Planning at
نویسندگان
چکیده
JS McMillan Fisheries Ltd. (JSM) is a Vancouver-based commercial fishing, production and distribution company. As the operations of JSM evolved, the process of allocating a commercial salmon catch to a set of final products has become complex and time-consuming. We developed a linear programming based decision support tool to assist JSM management with this allocation decision. The decision support tool yields a production plan that maximizes the profit potential of the catch and allows management to carry out “what if” analyses. Moreover, this paper explores implementation issues such as modeling fish quality deterioration, measuring the effect of byproduct and addressing catch-size uncertainty.

متن کاملDecision Support Tool for Dynamic Workforce Scheduling in Manufacturing Environments
Scheduling for production in manufacturing environments requires an immense amount of planning. A large number of factors such as part availability, production cost, space constraints and labor supply must be taken into account. Considering these factors, tasks are scheduled into shifts and allocated the required human resources. However, when actual production begins, the original schedule mus...
