Abstract

Lean principles require the identification of an ideal system state along with an associated policy to achieve that state. This paper discusses the use of multi-criteria models in conjunction with optimization procedures and simulation in order to identify an ideal system state and associated policy. An illustration involving the determination of a replenishment policy for a distribution system is described.
