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 ...

Structural Properties of Lot Streaming in a Flow Shop
Mathematics of Operations Research, 1998Lot streaming is the process of splitting a given lot or job to allow the overlapping of successive operations in multi-stage production systems, thereby reducing the makespan of the corresponding schedule. This paper considers the problem of finding sublot sizes to minimize the makespan for a single job in an m-machine flow shop. On each machine, the

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 ...

Basic Techniques for Lot Streaming
Operations Research, 1993We present an overview of basic models and solution algorithms for the lot streaming problem. We include models with continuous and discrete sublot sizes, models with and without intermittent idling of machines, and models with consistent and variable sublots. We also introduce a model with limited transporter capacity.

In this paper we present a review of the literature on lot streaming. Lot streaming is a technique that accelerates the flow of a product through a production system by splitting its production lot into sublots and then processing the sublots simultaneously over the machines, thereby reducing the work-in-process and cycle time.

Lot streaming with supplier–manufacturer coordination
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), 2004AbstractLot splitting refers to breaking a production lot into smaller sublots during production. Coordinating lot splitting decisions across multiple stages of a production process is a challenging task. Traditional lot splitting and lot streaming models implicitly assume that the entire system is operated and owned by the same firm, or there exists a

Lot streaming in a two-stage assembly system
Annual Reviews in Control, 2020Abstract In this paper, we address a scheduling problem belonging to a two-stage assembly system that can also be viewed as a mass customization system. The first stage of this system consists of a set of subassembly machines, each of which produces a component type.

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.

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.
