Throughput accounting and performance of a manufacturing company under stochastic demand and scrap rates

作者:

Highlights:

• Develops simulation model from original PQ company example.

• Modeled uncertainty leads in both product mix scenarios to significant losses.

• Scrap production should not be analyzed in isolation, but to ensure material flow.

• Preference on product Q leads to lower performance in nearly all measures.

• Scrap production is troublesome preferring product P due to higher volume.
