We consider a production planning problem for a general jobshop subject to breakdown and repair of machines and subject to lower and upper bound constraints on work-in-process. The machine capacities and demand processes are assumed to be finite state Markov chains. The problem is to choose the...

This paper studies multiproduct inventory models with stochastic demands and a warehousing constraint. Finite horizon as well as stationary and nonstationary discounted-cost infinite-horizon problems are addressed. Existence of optimal feedback policies is established under fairly general...

In this paper, we consider a production planning problem in a two-machine flowshop subject to breakdown and repair of machines and subject to non-negativity constraints on work-in-process. The machine capacities and demand processes are assumed to be finite state Markov chains. The problem is to...

This paper considers an infinite horizon stochastic production planning problem with the constraint that production rate must be nonnegative. It is shown that an optimal feedback solution exists for the problem. Moreover, this solution is characterized and is then compared with the solution of...

This paper considers an infinite horizon stochastic production planning problem with demand assumed to be a continuous-time Markov chain. The problems with control (production) and state (inventory) constraints are treated. It is shown that a unique optimal feedback solution exists, after first...

This paper presents an asymptotic analysis of hierarchical marketing-production systems with stochastic demand and stochastic production capacity modelled as finite state Markov processes. The decision variables used are advertising and production rates which influence capacity, demand, and...

This paper presents an asymptotic analysis of a stochastic manufacturing system consisting of parallel machines subject to breakdown and repair and facing a constant demand, as the rates of change of the machine states approach infinity. This situation gives rise to a limiting problem in which...
