Inventory Management at General Motors Assembly Division and AIMS, the Automated Inventory Management System
Abstract
In this paper, I will first give a brief overview of
General Motors Assembly Division (GMAD) , including a
history and an explanation of its function within General
Motors. Then I will outline the goals and benefits of
proper inventory management and study two opposing
philosophies used by inventory control. Next, I will
discuss my hopes for using linear programming techniques
as a tool in establishing inventory goals, and why these
hopes were not realized. Finally, I will present the
Automated Inventory Management System (AIMS) which was
the end product of my work at GMAD.
