System modelling for economic raw material selection. (English) Zbl 0912.90162

Summary: A system simulation method for economic raw material selection is presented, based on a realistic example. The total cost considered in raw materials selection is deemed to include the basic raw material cost, the extra manufacturing cost due to the selection of the particular raw material, and the final product quality cost. These costs are systematically simulated for three typical areas of interest: for the purchasing operation, for the manufacturing process and for the final product quality acceptance by the customer.
