- Description:
- System Dynamics modeling is used as an instructional aid for the teaching of production and inventory management techniques. The roles of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and just-in-time (JIT) systems in production and inventory management are presented and discussed. By modeling these manufacturing systems, the student can acquire an appreciation of the dynamic relationships between the elements of each system. Some elements of the Dynamo models of these systems are presented. The future opportunities and research needs are discussed.
