Considerable imminent in change on the this country. political and economic front is There is constant demand on businesses to improve productivity in the face of rising inflation, a trend that is unlikely to reverse given expected high wage demands. The liquor market is consider-ably influenced by government legislation and the state of the economy, hence companies operating within the liquor market are challenged with improving productivity in a changing environment. In order to facilitate productivity improvement, sales and production requirements need to be ascertained. The objective of this thesis is to design personal computer- based sales forecasting planning system that will aid a brewery productivity and minimise costs, through an integrated and production to maximise an ability to accurately forecast beer sales and translate such forecasts into efficient production plans. Fundamental to ensuring that the optimum production scenario is achieved is the need to generate a number of production scenarios for comparative purposes. To this end, the sales forecasting and production planning systems must be fully integrated, thereby allowing for the efficient generation of "what if" type analyses. 2016-10-19T03:56:22Z 2016-10-19T03:56:22Z 1991 Master Thesis Masters MIndAdmin http://hdl.handle.net/11427/22187 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
