The impact of order release strategies on the manufacturing performance for shop floor control

In this study, the impact of two order release strategies on the manufacturing performance when internal variation is not negligible in a shop environment is investigated. Two symmetrical and typical order release strategies, which determine the release timing, are studied. One is a pull-type strate...

Description
Summary:In this study, the impact of two order release strategies on the manufacturing performance when internal variation is not negligible in a shop environment is investigated. Two symmetrical and typical order release strategies, which determine the release timing, are studied. One is a pull-type strategy that recognizes the job shop as a full work system, e.g. the just-in-time system. The other is a push-type strategy based on input/output control, e.g. the MRP system. First, we explore a way ofsetting the machine utilization at a specified level for each strategy. Then, we compare these order release strategies under the same machine utilization level when internal variations, e.g. estimated errors for processing time and machine breakdown are not negligible. Job flow time and lead time are adopted as criteria to measure the manufacturing performance.
