This paper deals with an assembly job shop scheduling problem considering two phases of control: order review/release (ORR) and dispatching rules. Dispatching rules have been intensively used in earlier job shop research. Such rules determine the processing sequence of jobs waiting in the queues of corresponding machines. In recent years, ORR emerges as another option for job shop control and has received increasing attention. Such control determines when to release jobs to the shop floor. Different ORR mechanisms have been devised and are reported to bring several advantages such as reduced inventory cost of early finished orders, controlled and balanced shop load levels and shorter order flow time. Previous studies on ORR often assume a simplified job shop without assembly operations, while this research applies ORR to an assembly job shop. The aim of this research is to evaluate the ability of different combinations of ORR-dispatching rules in optimising due date and flow time related performance measu...read more

Parts feeding in two-stage assembly system: an assessment by simulation
TL;DR: Simulation results show limited operational performance differences between kitting and line stocking in to-stock systems, but results also highlight the potential for producing subassemblies to-order if the constraint is how much (and not where) stock can be kept.

Theory and practice of load-oriented manufacturing control
TL;DR: Load-oriented manufacturing control is a new solution for job shops and its successful implementation in a plastic leaves factory as mentioned in this paper, where the idea is to limit and balance work-in-process inventory on a level as low as possible in order to accomplish a high workcentre utilization as well as a rapid and in-time flow of orders.
