Abstract

The network based simulation language SLAM was used to model a proposed tomato processing operation. The model evaluates the feasibility of the proposed plant design in meeting pack plan (market share) requirements and the effect of various scheduling alternatives on the proposed plant's profitability. The results indicate that the proposed design will meet market share requirements and that scheduling based upon raw product quality will increase plant profit by $518,000 (12.8%) over net income earned from a traditional scheduling policy..
