Abstract:

The theory of constraints (TOC) product mix problems considering the extending capacity of outsourcing that involves determination of the quantity and the identification of each product to make or buy is one of the most fundamental decisions in a manufacturing plant. First, the multiform hybrid decision for TOC product mix optimization with the extending capacity of outsourcing is described and modeled for meeting the customs’ demands and maximizing system throughput.
