Lot Streaming in Different Types of Production Processes: A PRISMA Systematic Review

At present, any industry that wanted to be considered a vanguard must willing improve itself, developing innovative techniques generate competitive advantage against its direct competitors. Hence, many methods are employed optimize production processes, such as Lot Streaming, which consists of partitioning the productive lots into overlapping small batches reduce overall operating times known Makespan, reducing delivery time final customer. This work proposes carrying out systematic review following PRISMA methodology existing literature in indexed databases demonstrates application Streaming different systems, giving scientific community strong consultation tool, useful validate important elements definition Makespan reduction objectives and their applicability industry. Two hundred papers were identified on subject this study. After applying group eligibility criteria, 63 articles analyzed, concluding can applied types industrial always keeping main objective becoming an excellent improvement thanks use optimization algorithms, attached reality each
