Summary
This paper reviews some aspects of stock control and production scheduling encountered by a manufacturer of frozen food. Production is on a batch basis and because of the nature of the products there is no work in progress. The concept of sales promotion is introduced and its effects on the inventory and production-control systems are illustrated. The various forms of promotion are described and the problems of promotion response forecasting are assessed.
