Using multi-criteria modeling and simulation to achieve lean goals

Lean principles require the identification of an ideal system state along with an associated policy to achieve that state. This paper discusses the use of multi-criteria models in conjunction with optimization procedures and simulation in order to identify an ideal system state and associated policy. An illustration involving the determination of a replenishment policy for a distribution system is described.
