MODELS
• PROGRAM EVALUATION REVIEW TECHNIQUE (PERT)
Technique which enables the engineer managers to
schedule, monitor, and control large and complex
projects by employing three time estimates for each
activities.

• THE CRITICAL PATH METHOD (CPM)
Technique which enables the engineer managers to
schedule, monitor, and control large and complex
projects by using only one time factor per activity.

FORECASTING
Inventory Models
• Decisions in consideration with the future
• May be defined as “the collection of PAST and CURRENT
information

REGRESSION
Inventory Models
ANALYSIS
Forecasting method that examines the association of two
or more variables.
May be simple to multiple depending on the independent
variables present

LINEAR PROGRAMMING
Inventory Models
Used to produce an optimum solution within the bounds
imposed by constraints upon decision.
Useful for SUPPLY and DEMAND limitations

Qualitative Models for Decision-Making
SIMULATION
Inventory Models
• Model constructed to represent REALITY, on which
conclusions about real-life problems can be used
• Highlysophisticated tool due to the development of
mathematical model of the system
• Does not guarantee optimum solution but can evaluate
alternatives

STATISTICAL DECISION-THEORY
Inventory Models
• Rational way to conceptualise, analyse, and solve
problems in situations involving limited, or partial
information about decision environment.
• Evaluation of alternatives - BAYESIAN ANALYSIS
