Lot Splitting and Time Bucket Size in Planning System Design

چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of the cost effectiveness of equal lot splitting approaches for various lenghts of the time bucket in planning systems. The results of the research indicate that an equal number of subbatches (lots) per time bucket for all products is inefficient. The magnitude of these inefficiencies depends on the time bucket length of the planning system. An appropriate variable number of subbatches for each product leads to lower costs. We present a heuristic procedure to find such an appropriate number of subbatches per product, given a desired time bucket size.

Time Bucket Size and Lot-splitting Approach
We address the problem of lot splitting for various time bucket lengths in MRP systems. Two approaches for lot splitting can be applied: either use the same (equal) or a variable number of subbatches. Equal subbatching strategies have logistical and computational advantages. Literature states that variable batching strategies are only marginal better. However, these results do not take into acc...
متن کاملTime bucket length and lot-splitting approach
The effect of time bucket length on the choice of a lot-splitting approach is studied. Due to the continuing pressure to reduce throughput times and increase efficiency, managers apply various measures, such as lot splitting and cycle time reduction programmes, that change the length of the time bucket in their planning systems. It is shown that the choice for a suitable lot-splitting approach ...

In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model that integrates layout configuration and production planning in the design of dynamic distributed layouts. The model incorporates a number of important manufacturing attributes such as demand fluctuation, system reconfiguration, lot splitting, work load balancing, alternative routings, machine capability and tooling requirements. In addition, t...

متن کاملIntegrated JIT Lot-Splitting Model with Setup Time Reduction for Different Delivery Policy using PSO Algorithm
This article develops an integrated JIT lot-splitting model for a single supplier and a single buyer. In this model we consider reduction of setup time, and the optimal lot size are obtained due to reduced setup time in the context of joint optimization for both buyer and supplier, under deterministic condition with a single product. Two cases are discussed: Single Delivery (SD) case, and Multi...
