Demand bubbles and phantom orders in supply chains
Essay One The Impact of Shortages on Push-Pull Production Systems This paper explores the impact of endogenous customer demand on supply chain instability. It investigates how a semiconductor manufacturer's hybrid push-pull production system responds to customer demand, when inventory availability …

Optimizing the sequenced production schedule by managing the internal supply chain
… to customer demand is implementing a 'Pull' system. A Pull system is one that takes production signals from the downstream process and is based on true customer demand. This is in contrast to a 'Push' system that takes the production signal from the upstream schedule. This thesis will explore …

Preventing WIPlash: Implementation of a Controlled Release Strategy to Improve Shop Performance
Complex manufacturing systems are managed through their schedules, which help to make sure that the right part is in the right place at the right time. The challenge that many companies face is that the schedule is based off of a series of assumptions, and the manufacturing system suffers when …

Implementing pull production within an aerospace assembly operation
… of the internship was to convert from a push system, where orders are expedited and scheduled at multiple points in the process, to a pull system driven by a bin size or finished goods supermarket. Some of the key issues addressed include system design for highly variable processes, …

Development and Application of a New Modeling Technique for Production Control Schemes in Manufacturing Systems
<p>This dissertation presents dynamic system models of continuous manufacturing systems based on analogies with electrical systems. The developed modeling technique has the capability to explicitly specify production control schemes including control points, material and information flow paths, and …

Constant Flow Management - Investigating manufacturing flow variability
… times. Variability occurring in a production system disturbs the whole processing flow and results in long product cycle times. Hence, a range of sources of variability was determined from the literature and analyzed. This lead with the cooperation of factory managers to the development of …
