A mixed integer linear programming model representing a two-echelon manufacturing system was implemented. Optimal decisions could be made about raw material/component provisioning by using the model. The model was programmed by using an algebraic modeler which was then integrated into a computational tool from which defining parameters could be managed as well as consulting the results once the model had been executed. The model was validated on a real manufacturing system; besides providing good representation of the system, optimal provisioning decisions were also reached. The article emphasises that such decisions cannot be made by using usual MRP reasoning.
Se implementa un modelo de programación lineal entera mixta que representa un sistema de manufactura de dos escalones, con la intención de determinar decisiones óptimas de aprovisionamiento de materias primas o componentes. El modelo se programa usando software de modelación algebraica y se integra a una herramienta computacional desde la cual se administra el ingreso de los parámetros y la obtención de resultados. El modelo es validado en un ambiente real de manufactura, observando que además de representar fielmente el sistema se obtienen decisiones de aprovisionamiento que minimizan el costo total, objetivo del modelo, y a las cuales no se llegaría usando el esquema de cálculo propuesto por el MRP.
