Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 工業管理研究所 === 101 === Capacity expansion is always a considerable decision among manufacturing organizations, but implementing expansion is usually accompanied with a great deal of cost. Besides, there are lots of factors affect the total cost we may spend such as labor cost, raw material cost, demand variation, etc. Therefore decisions should be made through considering all the factors and as carefully as possible. Finally the expansion strategy will arise. Our research is based on the policy using inventory to postpone capacity expansion. We want to know what if we simultaneously allow temporary shortage and we want to reduce idle situations as much as possible. Then we make a trade-off among these strategies by constructing an integer programming model. At last we develop an algorithm that combines binary search tree and stepping stone method to solve our problem.
