Application of discrete event simulation and CONWIP on inventory control [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2010
Simulation is an effective quantitative analysis tool to compare and evaluate different system design. However, the application of simulation in construction industry has been limited to relatively restricted research fields.

Restricted work-in-process: A study of differences between Kanban and CONWIP

open access: yes
This article presents a simulation study over a small supply chain, where the amount of work-in-process (WIP) is restricted. The supply chain consists of five linked machines, or production facilities, with stochastic operation times.

Work in Next Queue CONWIP

open access: yesComputers and 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 ...

On the Meaning of ConWIP Cards: An Assessment by Simulation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Industrial and Production Engineering, 2019
The simplicity of Constant Work-In-Process (ConWIP) makes it one of the most widely adopted card-based production control solutions. Its simplicity, however, also limits the opportunities that are available to improve the concept. There are arguably only two major search directions: (i) to alter the meaning of cards away from controlling jobs; and (ii)

Comparing CONWIP, Synchronized CONWIP, and Kanban in Complex Supply Chains

International Journal of Production Economics, 2005
Abstract Three types of JIT ordering systems used for supply chain management were quality tested, the Kanban, the original constant work-in-process (CONWIP), and a synchronized CONWIP. The synchronized CONWIP system is described for its ability to handle complicated supply chains, which consist of assembly stages with different lead times.
