Abstract
The steady state solution of optimal control of a one-machine four-product
manufacturing system with setup changes, operating in a continuous time
dynamic environment is considered here. The system is deterministic.
When production is switched from one product to the other, a known
constant setup time and a setup cost are incurred. Each product has
specified constant processing time and constant demand rate, as well as an
infinite supply of raw material. The problem is formulated as a feedback
control problem. The aim is to minimize the total backlog, inventory and
setup costs incurred over a finite horizon. The optimal solution provides
the optimal production rate and setup switching epochs as a function of
the state of the system (backlog and inventory levels).
