A computer-aided system for linear production designs

Abstract Given a design problem of production systems with multiple criteria and multiple levels of resource availability, we want to select the best subset from a set of possible products as the optimal production system for production and to construct the corresponding optimal contingency plans for coping with the changes of decision parameters. In this paper, by using the multi-criteria and multi-constraint-level (MC 2 ) simplex method, we develop a computer-aided system for identifying the optimal production systems and their corresponding optimal contingency plans for production.
