  1. Development of shop floor control system

    Parameswaran, Venkatraman

    … The test bed also enables the drawing of shop layouts and shows the flow of material through the different machines in the layout. The test bed features process layouts, which are graphical representations of routing sheets. It can also calculate the Work In Progress at any time during the …

  2. Scheduling and shop floor control in commercial airplane manufacturing

    Sahney, Vikram NealMassachusetts Institute of Technology2005

    … factories today still schedule and monitor the shop floor much as they have for the past 100 years. This thesis compares and contrasts several different methods for shop floor control and scheduling including Boeing's barcharts, Toyota production system, critical chain, and dynamic scheduling. …

  3. The constraints and limitations of manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) as a tool for shop floor control

    Mbaya, Martin (Martin Njagi), 1977-Massachusetts Institute of Technology2000

    … This study explored the suitability of MRP II in controlling the shop floor by analyzing its constraints and limitations. The study is part of a larger effort by MIT's Production System Design Laboratory to establish an information system that meets the functional requirements of a physical …

  6. Effect of control frequency on the performance of manufacturing systems with controllable production rates

    Castañeda Vega, José IsraelMassachusetts Institute of Technology2001

    … limit their reliability and efficiency. The control of flow-line manufacturing systems, as a way to compensate for limited reliability, is about the frequent regeneration of production parameters so that the system output conforms to demand requirements in an acceptable manner. The influence …
