Abstract:
Multistage multilocation multiperiod production systems arc very common m
manufacturing and business arena, Production allocation for multistage
mUltilocation mltiperiod system is of great importance to the academi(;s,
researchers and managers. The task of production allocation for multistage system
is a highly complex job because of the requirement of incorporating various
aspects of overall manufactming and business scenario and inventory oricnted
factors. This task bewmes uphill especially, for assembling oriented enterprises.
To get a realistic solution of production allocation, the search for effective
quantitative techniques is an essential one. Mathematical modelling is an efficient
approach to these cases.
In this research work attempt has been made to develop mathematical models
relating to various situations, -starting from very simple cases to the complex
assembling oriented systems. All the developed models were tested with data and
.found to' provide optimum solutions. 'Inc linear programming methodology was
employed for solving the problems assuming the associated costs linear.

Beside the analytical ability and conceptual maturity of the designer, the success of
this modelling approach sterns from its nature of incorporating updated and correct
data. Models relied highly on modem information technology. The presence of
management information system (MIS) in the enterprise was felt to be very
essential.
