| Although orthodox analogue computer techniques have been applied
extensively in industry to Process Control, the analogue computer
has made little impact in other fields of industrial computation
such as Production Control. This paper discusses iterative analogue
computing techniques, as opposed to hybrid, and the application
of these techniques in performing simulations, of some basic
inventory control policies, such as the Re-order cycle, Re-order
level and s,S policies, and suggests that in this form the
analogue computer may have applications in a field where so far it
has been little used. |
