As such, they experience huge fluctuations in demand. A standard inventory model dictates massive changes in production capacity as demand varies. However all such models assume a continuous production stream. In this report we investigate the following question whether such a model is sensible in a problem of such large scale granularity. We describe a combination of stochastic, financial and simulation models to model the production of airplanes. A preliminary simulation of the model is also presented. Year to year, there are wide fluctuations in the demand of airplane orders at Boeing. This causes massive lay-offs and hirings which has very high cost. The problem is to devise a financial strategy to deal with these fluctuations so as to maximize the long term profit of the company. 1998-06-05 published 124 1 120 1 application/pdf en public
