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 ...

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 ...

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 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

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 a two-machine mixed shop
The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2009Most classical scheduling models overlook the fact that products are often produced in job lots and assume that job lots are indivisible single entities, although an entire job lot consists of many identical items. However, splitting an entire lot (process batch) into sublots (transfer batches) to be moved to downstream machines allows the overlapping ...

Two-machine lot streaming with attached setup times
IIE Transactions, 2012Lot streaming is a fundamental production scheduling technique to squeeze manufacturing lead times by splitting a large lot of n identical items into sublots. This article presents a full characterization of optimal solutions for two-stage lot streaming with attached machine setup times to minimize the makespan.

In batch manufacturing, the items are groupedinto batches. These batches are treated as individual jobs and they are notsplitted. However, if batch sizes are large, it may be beneficial to splitthese batchesinto smaller transfer lots which is known as lot streaming.
