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 ...

Robustness analysis of pull strategies in multi-product systems
Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2015 Purpose: This paper examines the behaviour of shared and dedicated Kanban allocation policies of Hybrid Kanban-CONWIP and Basestock-Kanban-CONWIP control strategies in multi-product systems; with considerations to robustness of optimal solutions to ...

Sequencing CONWIP flow-shops: Analysis and heuristics [PDF]
International Journal of Production Research, 2001 In this paper, we address the backlog sequencing problem in a flow-shop controlled by a CONWIP production control system, with the objective to minimize the makespan. We characterize the problem and analyse its similarities and differences with the unconstrained permutation flow-shop problem.

Impact of work-sharing on the performance of production line with heterogeneous workers
International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2019 This study addresses the problem of Dynamic Line Balancing (DLB) in a two-stage production assembly tandem line where there are worker differences. This study examines the dynamic decision rules for workers to operate under DLB with a low level of work ...

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 This paper incorporates the three pillars of sustainability—economic, environmental, and social dimensions—into a supply chain. A multiobjective programming model which jointly minimizes costs, emissions, and employee injuries in a supply chain is first constructed. Using the weighted‐sum approach with weights setting by the analytic hierarchy process (

Risk‐Optimized Design of Production Systems by Use of GRAMOSA
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Today production and logistic systems are getting more complex. This is a problem which the planning and design of such systems have to deal with. One main issue of production system development in series production is the planning of production processes and systems under uncertainty.

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Alternative material flow strategies in logistics networks have crucial influences on the overall performance of the networks. Material flows can follow push, pull, or hybrid systems. To get the advantages of both push and pull flows in networks, the decoupling‐point strategy is used as coordination mean.

A comparison of push and pull production controls under machine breakdown [PDF]
International Journal of Business Science and Applied Management, 2011 Production control for high-mix production remains a complex issue. Common pull system replenishment generates large works-in-process (WIPs) for each part type, especially under breakdown.
