e studies are included in this chapter to demonstrate how to use the
proposed approach of the product-mix problem developed in Chapter 3 in different
manufacturing environments. All of the four case studies are based on hypothetical data.
The first case study has been prepared to demonstrate that the results of a product mix
problem might differ greatly depending on the product-costing approach used in
developing the model. The second case study illustrates the use of the proposed productmix
decision model in a more complex manufacturing environment. The third case study
shows that the product-mix decision model used in Case II can be extended to include
more than one time period. Finally, the fourth case study demonstrates the use of the
model developed in this research in a lean manufacturing environment.
