Solving Cost Fluctuation Problem in Mini-Tractor Industry

Abstract

It is very interesting in developing a decision support system (DSS). In this paper, the system is developed for mini-tractor industry concern with production cost by using DSS. It is developed as data-driven DSS. An effective product strategy links productions with cash flow, market dynamic, product life cycle, and the organization capabilities. The production system may determine not only production cost but also product quantity. This thesis calculates the estimated production cost of a mini-tractor. It intends to determine the lower limit of cost and the upper limit of quantity. Thus, it also intends to decide tractor will be produced in which suitable quality of assembly parts with acceptable cost. It calculates the production cost on the items in various brands. The system can decide reasonable product according to the fluctuation of the cost. The production rate can also be controlled by the cost depended on the demand. It is important in the rate of the industry to become modernized developed country.
