Application of simulation for sizing of work in process (WIP) - case study in a manufacturer company valve
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper refers to a case study where discrete event simulation was used to size the optimal amount of WIP in a Brazilian company. The data collected were used to build a simulation model that optimized the capacity of existing buffers in the manufacturing process without any problems with customer service.

متن کامل1 Using Queueing Network Models to Set Lot - sizing Policies for Printed Circuit Board Assembly Operations
The current trend among manufacturers is to reduce WIP by decreasing the lot size. Reducing the lot size in some cases may have an adverse effect on system performance because more setup time is incurred. In this paper, we propose the use of queueing network models to determine the best lot-sizing policy that minimizes the WIP. The queueing network model is validated by comparing its results to...

The typical problems facing garment manufacturers are long production lead time, bottlenecking, and low productivity. The most critical phase of garment manufacturing is the sewing phase, as it generally involves a number of operations or for the simple reason that it’s labor intensive. In assembly line balancing, allocation of jobs to machines is based on the objective of minimizing the workfl...

One of the efforts in a pull system to meet the final goal of Just-In-Time is reducing Work-In-Process (WIP) without reducing throughput rate an service level. This paper proposes a new hybird control policy using extended Kanban, Generalized Kanban and CONWIP to form the final construction of production plan. Simulation of a 3-stage case study with probabilistic parameters showed the reducti...
