AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROPOSED USE OF ELECTRONIC DATA HANDLING MACHINES FOR PRODUCTION CONTROL.
Abstract
Production control procedures used in industry today are moderately mechanized and are carried out using experience methods. Frequently these methods are in qualitative, not quantitative form. For solving production control problems in the relatively simple category (process industries, assembly line plants, and the like), these qualitative methods may apply efficiently. However, as a whole in industry, production control problems are more complicated, especially in the large job shops. Therefore, to make production control a more uniform and efficient tool, it is becoming necessary to design production control procedures to produce decisions based on quantitative methods. of mathematics is involved in arriving at these quantitative methods. Since these methods are expressed quantitatively and mathematically, they lend themselves to manipulation by electronic data handling machines.
