Abstract
In this paper, eigenvalue–assignment techniques are used to synthesize control policies for a manufacturing system. This system is modelled as a diserete–time multivariate dynamical system with a disturbance input duo to sales. The state variables of the system are the rotes of flow of parts at the various work stations, the backlogs of parts, and the inventory level of the finished product. The control inputs ore the man–hours–per–week required for the various work processes involved in the manufacturing system.
