A comparative study and a proposal of a decision support system for the pull systems
Pull system is a production approach that material movement is triggered by a signal. Although the pull system is usually used as a synonym of kanban system, it has been seen that kanban does not work well in some production environments, and some pull ...

Performance Analysis of a Manufacturing Line Operated under Optimal Surplus‐Based Production Control
We examine optimality and performance of a tandem manufacturing line driven by a surplus‐based decentralized production control strategy. The main objective of this type of production strategies is to guarantee that the cumulative number of produced products follows the cumulative production demand on the output of the given network.

Work in process level definition: a method based on computer simulation and electre tri
This paper proposes a method for defining the levels of work in progress (WIP) in productive environments managed by constant work in process (CONWIP) policies. The proposed method combines the approaches of Computer Simulation and Electre TRI to support

Card-based delivery date promising in pure flow shops with order release control [PDF]
Card-based systems are simple, effective means of controlling production. Yet most systems concentrate on controlling the shop floor. They neglect other planning tasks, like estimating short, feasible due dates during customer enquiry management.
