Abstract
⺠We optimize production cycle times by investing in setup time and defect rate reductions. ⺠We determine optimal levels of setup time, defect rate reductions, and l investments required. ⺠The problem is constrained by demand requirements, budget limitations, and manufacturing and warehousing capacity. ⺠We provide a convex geometric programming heuristic to find approximate solutions to non-linear models. ⺠We empirically determine the important factors for product-specific and joint-product quality improvements.
