Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a simulation model that examines the impact of different 'players' on forecasting and production scheduling in a datacommunications company. The author identifies the information that influences each 'player' and their role in decision-making, exploring how their choices and actions interact to balance supply and demand in the factory. Through diagrams and simulations, it investigates how business planners, schedulers, and customers work together, demonstrating the feedback loops that can lead to self-fulfilling forecasts and suppressed demand. The author proposes two interval control policies to prevent this issue, arguing that a routine policy at the level of schedulers and planners is necessary to rapidly detect bias in the forecast and compensate for it by scheduling production in excess of the forecast. By examining the dynamics of production and customer ordering in a datacommunications company, this book provides valuable insights into the complexities of forecasting and production scheduling in a fast-moving industry.
