Journal ArticleDOI
Work In Next Queue CONWIP
TL;DR: It is shown, through a simulative approach, that the adoption of a suitable dispatching rule allows to improve the single-loop CONstant Work In Process (CONWIP) control mechanism within Make To Order (MTO) production systems, balancing the workload among the workstations, reaching a performance level that outperforms standard CONWIP and leans towards that of the corresponding m-conWIP system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revised overall labour effectiveness
TL;DR: A new workforce effectiveness metric that is a sophisticated evolution of a pre-existing overall labour effectiveness (OLE) indicator, named revised OLE (ROLE), provides a structured methodology to measure in a holistic way the losses relating to labour, maintaining some formal similitude to the overall equipment effectiveness ( OEE).
Journal ArticleDOI
A study on the importance of selection rules within unbalanced MTO POLCA-controlled production systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the behavior of the POLCA method when a make-to-order (MTO) production system is highly unbalanced, in terms of both routings and times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic theory of tool life – theoretical developments on the injury theory
TL;DR: A revisited and extended version of the injury theory, originally developed by Ramalingam and Watson (1977), is presented, extending the theory to the case of multiple machines with both single- and multi-tool configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating considerations of uncertainty within the OEE of a manufacturing line
TL;DR: This paper provides a framework to measure its modal value and its variability on an entire manufacturing line and integrates a method which enables us to avoid the annoying 'overestimation effect' of FTNs.
