Scheduling Manufacturing Systems With Work-in-Process Inventory Control: Single-Part-Type Systems

In this paper, a real-time feedback control algorithm is developed for scheduling single-part-type production lines in which there are three important classes of activities: operations, failures, and starvation or blockage. The scheduling objectives are to keep the actual production as close to the...
