Workload Balancing Capability of Pull Systems in MTO Production
Pull systems focusing on throughput time control and applicable in situations with high variety and customization are scarce. This paper compares pull systems that can cope with such situations: POLCA and CONWIP. Both systems constrain the maximum amount of work in progress (WIP) within a loop, but their effectiveness in terms of reducing total throughput time is questioned. They mainly differ ...
متن کاملMTO-MTS Production Systems in Supply Chains
Increasing cost pressures have led supply chain managers to focus on running increasingly lean and efficient supply chains, with minimal inventory. Indeed, more and more firms are relying on pull or make-toorder (MTO) supply chains to minimize cost and waste. At the same time, increasing competitive pressures are leading to an increased emphasis on customer service. An important element of cust...
متن کامل‘BALANCING AND SEQUENCING’ VERSUS ‘ONLY BALANCING’ IN MIXED MODEL U-LINE ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS: AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
With the growth in customers’ demand diversification, mixed-model U-lines (MMUL) have acquired increasing importance in the area of assembly systems. There are generally two different approaches in the literature for balancing such systems. Some researchers believe that since the types of models can be very diverse, a balancing approach without simultaneously sequencing of models will not yield...
متن کاملWorkload Balancing in Distributed Virtual Reality Environments
Virtual Reality (VR) has grown to become state-of-theart technology in many businessand consumer oriented E-Commerce applications. One of the major design challenges of VR environments is the placement of the rendering process. The rendering process converts the abstract description of a scene as contained in an object database to an image. This process is usually done at the client side like i...
متن کاملThe general behavior of pull production systems: The allocation problems
The design of tandem production systems has been well studied in the literature with the primary focus being on how to improve their eciency. Considering the large costs associated, a slight improvement in eciency can lead to very signi®cant savings over its life. Division of work and allocation of buer capacities between workstations are two critical design problems that have attracted the ...
