ABSTRACT:
A method provides for an efficient unconstrained and nonlinear constrained optimization solution to a multivariate allocation of resources to meet manufacturing needs for uncertain multiproduct demand, where uncertainty is captured through a multivariate normal distribution over product demand (or more generally, through a member of the elliptical family of distributions).
