  1. 1. Strategic Inventory Control in Capacity-Constrained Manufacturing Systems : Reviewing the tangible effect of applying multi-echelon optimization in a multi-product environment

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för industriell ekonomi

    Author : Jonathan Petersson; Pontus Nellgård; [2020]
    Keywords : Inventory Management; Inventory optimization; Lean manufacturing; Discrete event simulation; Industry 4.0; Lagerstyrning; Lageroptimering; Lean tillverkning; Simulering; Industri 4.0;

    Abstract : Firms today maintain complex supply chains containing many dependent stages to manufacture a product to the end customer. Here lies a dilemma, keeping extensive inventory generate higher customer satisfaction by enabling quick deliveries. This increase in inventory, however, comes at an increase in costs. READ MORE
