Summary

From a basis of a known work load and the known capabilities of manufacturing resources, a set-theoretic analysis leads to the identification of constraints bearing upon the process of resource selection in any given case. A suitable criterion of optimality then permits an optimal selection to be made by linear or other mathematical programming methods.
