Optimal Scheduling of Tests for New Product Development

摘要

Many industries typically use screening process to discover new products. In these industries, many tasks involved in producing a new product are regulatory requirements, such as environmental and safety tests. For testing tasks in a new product development process, two kinds of mathematical models which considered scenario-based methods and assumptions of outsourcing and retest are proposed. Throughout the application study, the proposed model allows realistic problems to be solved with reasonable computational effort.
