Developing a multi stage mathematical production management model for auto industry


M.Ghorbani Salanghooch, A.Norang and M. Moameni


In this paper, we establish an integrated mathematical production management model based on five parts insisted of finished goods production in production sites, inventory control of finished goods in production and distribution facilities, semi-finished goods production in producer’s facilities, inventory control of raw materials in production sites and Inventory control of semi-finished products. The main goal of developed model is to minimize total cost of company in the mentioned parts. Finally, the model is validated with 7 real-world case studies from auto-industry in one of the largest Iranian car producer company, Iran Khodro co and the empirical results are illustrated at the end of the paper.
