Evaluation of production control strategies for the co-ordination of work-authorisations and inventory management in lean supply chains [PDF]
, 2012 A decision support framework is proposed for assisting managers and executives to possibly utilise lean production control strategies to coordinate work authorisations and inventory management in supply chains.

Bottleneck Oriented Card-Based Production Control for Push Repetitive Manufacturing Systems
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2013 One of the major problems of the push Repetitive Manufacturing Systems (RMS) is the Work In Process (WIP) buildups between the stations due to the push nature of the flow of material. Card-based pull or push-pull production control systems offered smooth

On existence of weak solutions to a Cauchy problem for one class of conservation laws
Vìsnik Dnìpropetrovsʹkogo Unìversitetu: Serìâ Modelûvannâ, 2015 We discuss the existence of weak solutions to the Cauchy problem for one classof hyperbolic conservation laws that models a highly re-entrant production system.The output of the factory is described as a function of the work in progress and theposition ...

Production control of a pull system with production and demand uncertainty
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2002 We consider a continuous material-flow manufacturing system with an unreliable production system and a variable demand source which switches randomly between zero and a maximum level. The failure and repair times of the production system and the switching times of the demand source are assumed to be exponentially distributed random variables.

, 2009 The Toyota Production System promotes "pull" scheduling to reduce the production of parts that do not comply to what the customer needs. The use of "pull" within software represents a radical change in the way activities are planned.

International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2021 There is a need for scaling-up agroecology to promote sustainable agriculture at global level. Although, recent studies show that agroecological approaches can achieve both high yields and profits compared with conventional systems, the performance of ...

A Markov Chain Analysis of the Effectiveness of Kanban Card with Dynamic Information [PDF]
International Journal of Supply and Operations Management, 2017 The pull system produces products based on customer demands. Each station is isolated until a customer order is placed; then a signal or Kanban is sent from downstream station to upstream station and continues until the first station.

A comparison of push and pull production controls under machine breakdown [PDF]
International Journal of Business Science and Applied Management, 2011 Production control for high-mix production remains a complex issue. Common pull system replenishment generates large works-in-process (WIPs) for each part type, especially under breakdown.
