The Production of Steroids at the Upjohn Company: A Simulation

Abstract

I was introduced to the problem which was to receive my attention for the balance of the quarter: the designing of a computer tool which would be of assistance in the scheduling of steroid production. This report contains a detailed description of my approach to the problem. My main goal has been to write a dynamic algorithm, that is, an algorithm with deoision-making devices sensitive both to the external parameters of the system and to internal changes.
