Abstract
We discuss in this paper some inventory-production models which can be formulated as nonlinear parametric network flow problems with one add itional linear constraint. Several sensitivity analysis questions are addressed. The qualitative sensitivity results obtained provide the ma nager with insight to understanding qualitatively how to respond to ch anges in the environment such as production costs, inventory capacity, external demand, machine breakdown, strike, or variations in inventor y carrying cost without additional computation.
