AB  - An examination of changing an inventory policy of a major
manufacturing organisation and its impact on the cost structure of the
organisation is presented. A classic cost confrontation between set‐up
costs and inventory costs are examined in the study. The results reveal
that the unique nature of the manufacturing organisation favours
short‐run production scheduling over a proposed long‐run production
scheduling policy. This article also presents the application of a
decision support system (DSS) to aid in production scheduling. The
applications reveals that improved scheduling and a reduction in
scheduling time and effort can be achieved by using the DSS over the
manufacturing organisations′ manual systems.
