Application of work center control rules in a job shop environment
用排队论分析工作中心控制规则（结合作业调度规则与短期产能调整），并通过仿真证明其相比关键比率规则能同时提高客户交货期绩效和降低在制品库存。
Abstract Work center control rules, defined as a combination of job dispatch rules and short‐term work center capacity adjustments, are analyzed using queueing theory. Promising rules are evaluated with a job shop simulation model. Simulations comparing work center control rules to the critical ratio rule for job dispatching indicate that work center control can increase performance to customer due date while simultaneously reducing average work in process inventory. The work center control rules are easily implemented by shops currently using input/output control and daily dispatch lists.
