Lot streaming in multistage production systems
International Journal of Production Economics, 2000Abstract Lot streaming is a procedure in which a production lot is split into smaller sub-lots and moved to the next processing stage so that operations at successive stages of a multistage manufacturing system can be overlapped in time. Lot streaming reduces the manufacturing lead time and thereby provides an opportunity to lower the costs of ...

The problem of processing of job lot of n identical items in a general shop where each item in the lot requires processing in m distinct processors, in any order, is considered. The m processors are not necessarily available at the same time to process the job lot.

A comprehensive review of lot streaming
International Journal of Production Research, 2005Lot streaming combined lot splitting with operations overlapping is one of the effective techniques used to implement the time-based strategy in today's era of global competition. Therefore, this technique has been studied extensively over the past few decades.

Solution Procedures for the Lot‐Streaming Problem
Decision Sciences, 1990ABSTRACTLot streaming is the process of splitting a job into sublots so its operations can be overlapped and its progress accelerated. We present a computationally efficient procedure for solving the m‐machine, two‐sublot problem, and we discuss the bottleneck insights that emerge from the analysis.

Lot streaming in three-stage production processes
European Journal of Operational Research, 1994Lot streaming models for multi-stage production systems with the makespan (maximum completion time) as an objective are considered. A single job is to be partitioned into \(s\) sublots. A machine, which processes the job on the concrete stage, can process a sublot only when it has finished processing any previous sublot and when all sublots at any ...

On lot streaming in multistage production systems
International Journal of Production Economics, 2005Abstract Recently a model on processing a product in a multistage serial production system by overlapping production between stages is presented in the literature. For minimum in-process inventory the production flow is synchronized by shifting the lot, from a stage to the next in equal shipment sizes.

A comparative study of lot streaming procedures
Omega, 1993Abstract We describe computational experiments with several algorithms for solving the lot streaming problem. Each of the algorithms optimizes the makespan under some set of constraints. For example, we can constrain the solution to have no idling, consistent sublots, equal sublots or equal sublots and no idling.

Lot streaming with flexible process plans
International Journal of Production Research, 2013With increasing flexibility in manufacturing systems, the integrated approach to the planning problems on the shop-floor level has become much more important in recent years. Although adopted process plans may considerably affect the performance of lot streaming, previous research has assumed that parts are to be produced with a fixed process plan ...

Lot streaming with variable sublots: an integer programming formulation
Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2006This paper deals with the question of how to split a given lot into sublots so as to allow their overlapping production in a flow shop environment. The size of each sublot may vary over the stages. We consider an arbitrary number of stages and assume sublot availability, that is, only completed sublots are allowed to be transferred to the next stage. A
