Setting inventory levels of CONWIP flow lines via linear programming
This paper treats the problem of setting the inventory level of closed-loop flow lines operating under the constant-work-in-process (CONWIP) protocol. We solve a huge but simple linear program that models an entire simulation run of a closed-loop flow line in discrete time to determine a production rate estimate of the system. This new approach has been introduced in Helber et al. (2008) for op...
متن کاملUsing linear programming to analyze and optimize stochastic flow lines
This paper presents a linear programming approach to analyze and optimize flow lines with limited buffer capacities and stochastic processing times. The basic idea is to solve a huge but simple linear program that models an entire simulation run of a multi-stage production process in discrete time, to determine a production rate estimate. As our methodology is purely numerical, it offers the fu...
متن کاملDesign and Control of Agile Automated CONWIP Production Lines
In this article, we study the design and control of manufacturing cells with a mix of manual and automated equipment, operating under a CONWIP pull protocol, and staffed by a single agile (cross-trained) worker. For a three-station line with one automated station, we fully characterize the structure of the optimal control policy for the worker and show that it is a static priority policy. Using...
متن کاملConservative chaotic flow generated via a pseudo-linear system
Analysis of nonlinear autonomous systems has been a popular field of study in recent decades. As an interesting nonlinear behavior, chaotic dynamics has been intensively investigated since Lorenz discovered the first physical evidence of chaos in his famous equations. Although many chaotic systems have been ever reported in the literature, a systematic and qualitative approach for chaos generat...
متن کاملApproximate Dynamic Programming via Linear Programming
The curse of dimensionality gives rise to prohibitive computational requirements that render infeasible the exact solution of largescale stochastic control problems. We study an efficient method based on linear programming for approximating solutions to such problems. The approach "fits" a linear combination of preselected basis functions to the dynamic programming costtogo function. We develop...
