, 2012 The paper describes the workings for four models of CONWIP systems used till date; the basic CONWIP system, the hybrid CONWIP system, the multi-product CONWIP system, and the parallel CONWIP system. The final novel model is introduced in this paper in a general form.

Card-based production control:a review of the control mechanisms underpinning Kanban, ConWIP, POLCA and COBACABANA systems [PDF]
, 2016 Since the emergence of Kanban, there has been much research into card-based control systems. This has included attempts to improve Kanban and/or develop alternative systems, particularly ConWIP (i.e. Constant Work-In-Process), POLCA (i.e.

Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2016 Purpose: Few studies comparing manufacturing control systems as they relate to high-mix, low-volume applications have been reported. This paper compares two strategies, constant work in process (CONWIP) and Paired-cell Overlapping Loops of Cards with ...

Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2020 Abstract The present paper is aimed at showing, through a simulative approach, that the adoption of a suitable dispatching rule allows to improve the single-loop CONstant Work In Process (CONWIP) control mechanism within Make To Order (MTO) production systems, balancing the workload among the workstations, reaching a performance level that ...

ConWip optimization in a multiprodut environment
, 2018 In the past decade, a growing body of literature has investigated the CONstant Work InProgress (ConWip) production control system (PCS). In view of the current industrial challengesentailing adaptability, product customisation, decreas- ing leadtimes and customer satisfaction, ConWipseems to be an effective and adaptive PCS for manufacturers.

Inventory control through a CONWIP pull production system
, 2010 Production systems such as the constant work-in-process (CONWIP) pull production system have been widely studied by researchers to date. The CONWIP pull production system is an alternative to pure push and pure pull systems that lowers and controls inventory levels and reduces production lead time.

Incorporating Variability in Lean Manufacturing: A Fuzzy Value Stream Mapping Approach
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 In this paper, value stream mapping (VSM) is integrated with fuzzy set theory to incorporate variability and uncertainty in the lean production system. VSM is one of the primary analytical tools for identifying waste and optimizing a production line. However, the standard VSM fails to consider the variability in manufacturing environments, which is, in
