The ConWip production control system: a systematic review and classification
International Journal of Production Research, 2017 In the past decade, a growing body of literature has investigated the CONstant Work In Progress (ConWip) production control system (PCS). In view of the current industrial challenges entailing adaptability, product customisation, decreasing leadtimes and customer satisfaction, ConWip seems to be an effective and adaptive PCS for manufacturers.

Determining the throughput of a CONWIP system using adjusted ARM
Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management, 2011 PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose an adjusted approximate regenerative model (ARM) for a constant‐work‐in‐process (CONWIP)‐based production system that solves the problem of deciding the number of intermediate bulk container in a pharmaceutical company to hold the work in process.Design/methodology/approachThe problem was modeled as a ...

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 ...

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.

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.
