TL;DR: In this article, a material flow design system for a mixed-model demand flow manufacturing line is presented, which utilizes a replenishment card/replenishment container system of material management.
Abstract: A material flow design system for a mixed-model demand flow manufacturing line is presented. The material flow system utilizes a replenishment card/replenishment container system of material management. The material flow design system defines the size of replenishment containers and the location of material deduct points in the production path. The material flow design system may further include a design system for designing an inventory control system. The inventory control system involves locating backflush and intermediate backflush locations on the production path and deduct points in the material flow sequence. An inventory monitoring system monitors material flow, deducts material from inventories at deduct points, and credits material to inventory indicated by the deduct points when products produced by the manufacturing line flow through material backflush points defined in the manufacturing line.

TL;DR: In this article, the machining theory is further developed so that this strain rate can be obtained as part of the solution, and the predicted values found in this way are shown to be in excellent agreement with the rather limited number of experimental strain rate results which are available.
Abstract: In previous applications of an approximate machining theory in which account is taken of the strain rate and temperature dependence of the work material flow stress properties it has been found necessary to use an empirical relation to determine the maximum value of the maximum shear strain rate in the chip formation zone. In this paper the machining theory is further developed so that this strain rate can be obtained as part of the solution. Predicted values found in this way are shown to be in excellent agreement with the rather limited number of experimental strain rate results which are available. The paper ends by showing that if the work material is allowed to approach the ideal constant flow stress material usually assumed in slip-line field theory then the predicted strain rates become extremely large. However, it is still found necessary in calculating the corresponding hydrostatic stresses to use the stress equilibrium equations for a variable flow stress material as the variable flow stress terms do not diminish as rapidly as might have been expected.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a method called economically extended material flow analysis (EE-MFA), which aims at studying causal relationships between economically motivated human behaviour and resource consumption. But it is not suitable for the case of food production.
