| Summary: | TCG plans to reduce the warehouse space from 3500 to 1500 pallet spaces. A
previous study focuses on the raw materials procurement and ordering
methods. It classified raw materials into A, B or C in descending order of
importance and recommended a just-in-time approach, a continuous review
model and a periodic review model respectively. However, the models are
limited by assumptions that demands are random and normally distributed,
and replenishment lead times are fixed and deterministic. The aim of this
thesis is to improve the models by taking into account the actual nondeterministic
situations. |
