PRODUCTION CONTROL SYSTEMS - YACOB KHOJASTEH GE...

Selecting a suitable production control policy is a challenging task for managers because the
superiority of one control over the other is controversial. This book analyzes pull production
systems and provides a guideline to choose and implement a proper control policy in production
processes. By employing a proper control policy the maximum possible throughput of the
production system can be achieved with the minimum work-in-process inventory. Kanban  CONWIP 
and base-stock as wellknown pull control policies are analyzed and analytical comparisons among
them in multistage serial and assembly production processes are presented. Illustrated by
carefully chosen examples and supported by analytical solutions  discussions provided in the
book clarify the complexity of the comparisons that show there is no general superiority among
the control systems. Th e book explains which structural parameters decide the superiority of
one control scheme to the others  and how they are related. Given a confi guration of
parameters  such as processing times and number of cards employed in the system  the superior
control policy can be selected.
