Other possibilities and conclusions

If we are not satisfied with the outcome of the delivery times or the profit, we can 

Xi increasing jc,- leads to a less frequent production of type i and less set-ups, decreasing Xi to a more firequent production and usually shorter delivery times. 

Ci increasing C,- leads to a more firequent production of type i. Increasing C,- for all types at the same time leads to a more cyclic production pattern. 

V increasing v,- (if L = 2 ) makes it more often possible to produce more than one type of product in one period. This leads to shorter delivery times, but also to increasing amount of work in overtime. 

Until now, we have assumed that the service time of an order and the set-up time can be expressed in an integer number of units of capacity. We also have assumed that a set-up has to be done if a type is manufactured during a period and that the decisions
