Abstract

At the Thirtieth National Meeting of the Operations Research Society of America a special tutorial session was held, entitled “Problems in the Analysis of Production Systems.” The present article is adapted from one of the papers presented at the session. Retaining the same nature as the tutorial session the article is concerned with the basic issues of production smoothing and work force balancing and is directed at an audience generally unfamiliar with technical approaches to the analysis of production systems. A bibliography is also included.
