Abstract
In this chapter, discrete models of made-to-order production are presented. For planning purposes the continuous models are appropriate, but our objective is to eventually relate these models to the assembly line or assembly area. This level of disaggregation requires that the models consider discrete production units. In short, this chapter represents the theoretical foundations of our future research. Work is presently underway in this area [see, for example, Camm (1984), Camm and Womer (1984), and Womer and Camm (1984)].
One of the models that is discussed in this chapter was previously published in Decision Sciences, Vol. 16 (1985), 73–90.
