| description | Workload Control is used in manufacturing systems to obtain more predictable throughput
times and accurate delivery dates. The models proposed in the literature are typically focused
on machines with fixed processing time. This study, therefore, uses simulation to investigate
the performance of the Workload Control method with a controllable processing time of
the machines. This research proposes four models to support the decisions on the time to
reconfigure the machines and the number of machines reconfigured. The time decision follows
two strategies as periodic and continuous, while the machines reconfigured can be all or
two considering the workload. The combinations of these strategies lead to four models that
are tested in different conditions of reconfiguration times and the number of bottlenecks.
The results suggest as the proposed models allow to improve delivery time performance and
a more uniform distribution of workload among the machines of the manufacturing systems. |
