Economic Investigation in Variable Transfer Batch Size, in CONWIP Controlled Transfer Line

EasyChair Preprint 57

Abstract

Production shop is a complex task that impacts the ability of an organization to integrate between economic and production performance measurements. The CONWIP (CONstant Work In Process) approach is the simplest pull system to implement. Two-machine transfer line with the exponentially distributed duration of the process, break and repair were formulated and solved as a Markovian-chain. Decomposition was used to iteratively employ this solution in solving K-machine transfer line. These models assume that batch size is fixed. In this study we extend the existing transfer line solution, to deal with 1 unit process batch and t units transfer batch along the line.
