Hierarchical Architectural Considerations in Econometric Modeling of Manufacturing Systems.

摘要

An input-output econometric model was constructed for the Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing (ICAM) program of the US Air Force. The model generated is a combined model consisting mainly of classical input-output model, flowgraph theory, and econometric models distinct from input-output models. Major outputs of the model consist of a Transaction Table, and optimal dynamic system models. The optimal dynamic system models consist of a dynamic (multi-period) input-output model and a production system model. A literature review was accomplished to aid in the definition of the context and construction of the overall model and to identify various existing analytical techniques which can be applied within the model. The input-output econometric model as constructed and defined exhibits the flexibility and feasibility necessary for use in an interactive decision support system. (jes)
