Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Industrial and Systems Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
The direction of this thesis is to design systems to better understand the complexity of a business cycle. First questions are asked; what is the forecasted demand to satisfy customers? How will the company manufacture the products in an efficient way? This study emphasizes on the complexity of each step of the process. The study first introduces the demand allocation to satisfy current customers, but has a future strategy to expand upon their current market position. Reducing inefficiencies in the system, calculations were done for demand, standard deviation, demand coverage probability, and manufacturing cell utilization. Then a simulation model was designed to expedite the user enter values using VBA coding to simulate the manufacturing system. Final systems were compared to figure out if a future business strategy is manageable and desirable for the company.
