Review of Last Time | 12/1 Session Links |
In our last session, we looked at inventory as an example of a capacity problem. Capacity modeling is one tool very useful for cost control, because excess capacity can be a large drain on any enterprise.
This time, we’ll continue the theme of capacity, but instead of focusing on material, we’ll look at the operation itself. In particular, the capacity to serve customers.

Modeling service systems in general is extraordinarily complex, but as we’ve seen, if we make reasonable approximations, we can gain powerful tools that are very easy to apply. In the case of service systems, we assumed that the system was at equilibrium or close to it. Analogously, we can make simplifying assumptions for many other complex questions. Examples are process control, resource scheduling, resource allocation, cost allocation, vehicle routing, and many more.
