Selecting a suitable production control policy is a challenging
task for managers because the superiority of one control over the
other is controversial. This book analyzes pull production systems
and provides a guideline to choose and implement a proper control
policy in production processes. By employing a proper control
policy the maximum possible throughput of the production system can
be achieved with the minimum work-in-process inventory. Kanban,
CONWIP, and base-stock as wellknown pull control policies are
analyzed and analytical comparisons among them in multistage serial
and assembly production processes are presented. Illustrated by
carefully chosen examples and supported by analytical solutions,
discussions provided in the book clarify the complexity of the
comparisons that show there is no general superiority among the
control systems. Th e book explains which structural parameters
decide the superiority of one control scheme to the others, and how
they are related. Given a confi guration of parameters, such as
processing times and number of cards employed in the system, the
superior control policy can be selected.
