| Abstract: | A discrete-time,continuous-flow model is developed for studying the operation of a job shop that sees a stationary input mix of job types. It aims at developing a tactical planning tool for a job shop operation. With the model,it is possible to characterize the operational behavior of each work center in the job shop for a given control policy. The control rule sets the production rate at a work center as a fixed proportion of its queue level in each time period and is consistent with the assignment of a planned lead time to each work center. For these control rules the model gives the steady state distribution of the production levels at each work center, as well as the distribution of queue length. |
