Optimization of Size Ranges of Technical Products

Abstract

The paper presents a formulation of the problem for choosing an optimal size range of technical products and a mathematical model for solving of the said problem. Particular attention is paid to the ways for satisfying the types of demand for the size ranges’ elements. Two ways are proposed, and they are formalized as constraints in a mathematical model. Methods are proposed for solving the problem in accordance with the chosen way of satisfying the demand, and an algorithm is developed. The methods and the algorithm are approbated by solving a particular problem.
