Developing a unified framework for performance analysis of production control mechanisms

چکیده
There exists controversy on the superiority of logistics control systems. In this paper, we propose a unified framework for analyzing and comparing of production control mechanisms. KANBAN, CONWIP and Base-stock control systems are focused on and analyzed as three well-known examples of production control systems. The periodic behavior of a token transaction system is used. By using the theory of token transaction systems, and employing the Little's law, we show how minimum WIP (Work-In-Process) of a system can be calculated that allows the system to have maximum possible throughput. We also provide a performance comparison for the three production control systems, KANBAN, CONWIP and Base-stock in serial production processes. We compare the minimum WIP of the system for the three policies, when the system attains maximum possible throughput.

Because of the limited capacity of coastal lands and conflicting interests among stakeholders for coastal resources, there are intensifying pressures to retain and provide more public access to the coast. Coastal gated communities have been developed increasingly in the middle shoreline of Caspian Sea in North of Iran. They are kind of exclusive space production as they restrict public access t...
