Abstract

Abstract This paper describes the method of determining batch sizes in a multi-product, multi-stage situation and presents a Decision Support System (DSS) for capacity utilization. A heuristic model has been developed for modifying the optimal batch sizes in a manner such that machine hour and labour productivity constraints are not violated. The capacity utilization so determined will also suggest and identify the need for reduction of number of set-ups.
