Comments Section

gold Here is some eTCL starter code for calculating the Optimal Lot Order Size. Most of the testcases involve replicas or models, using assumptions and rules of thumb.

The inventory_cost equals (ordering_cost*units_sold)/order_quantity + (unit_price*units_sold +holding_cost*order_quantity/2. The optimal order_quantity equals sqrt < (2.*ordering_cost*units_sold)/holding_cost>. In the calculator the holding_cost is calculated over a time period, usually 7 days. The holding_cost is dollars per unit per time interval.

Pseudocode and Equations

  price? = raw materials + labor  +  profit
  price? = raw materials + heat process
  price? = raw materials + labor 
  average price per unit  = revenue  / units sold

Testcases Section

In planning any software, it is advisable to gather a number of testcases to check the results of the program. The math for the testcases can be checked by pasting statements in the TCL console. Aside from the TCL calculator display, when one presses the report button on the calculator, one will have console show access to the capacity functions (subroutines).

Pushbutton Operation

For the push buttons, the recommended procedure is push testcase and fill frame, change first three entries etc, push solve, and then push report. Report allows copy and paste from console.

For testcases in a computer session, the eTCL calculator increments a new testcase number internally, eg. TC(1), TC(2) , TC(3) , TC(N). The testcase number is internal to the calculator and will not be printed until the report button is pushed for the current result numbers. The current result numbers will be cleared on the next solve button. The command { calculate; reportx } or { calculate ; reportx; clearx } can be added or changed to report automatically. Another wrinkle would be to print out the current text, delimiters, and numbers in a TCL wiki style table as

  puts " %| testcase $testcase_number | value| units |comment |%"
  puts " &| volume| $volume| cubic meters |based on length $side1 and width $side2   |&"
