Abstract

The concretization of the basic concept for SCPC, as well as its components CC and PC, provided in chapter 3, concerns particularly the solution of the described problems in the context of CC, PC and SCPC founded on the basic understanding of their dynamic execution. In addition to this, the mathematical framework of the provided solution has to be formulated. The resulting decision model bases the implementation of a CC, PC and SCPC.

  1. In application case I (sole capacity control), the practice case is controlled on the basis of initial capacity distributions as the result of demand forecasts assuming an ARMA (1, 1) process [Schlittgen/ Streitberg 1987]. In terms of forecasting quality, this process had the best results. In terms of the capacity setting itself, just taking the average of the last periods would have led to the same results.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is characterized by Minsky [1966] as the “science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men.” This leads to the understanding of “intelligent” computer systems having abilities that would be considered by men as intelligent behavior (e.g. problem solving, learning) [Kurbel 1992, p.1].
