| Abstract: | In the late 80s, most manufacturers have shifted their manufacturing strategies from cost and quality to speed. This paper focuses on two performance measures of speed: manufacturing lead time and response time. Manufacturing lead time is the sum of the processing time to convert raw material to finished goods and the waiting time at the buffers. Response time is the time between the customer places an order and the customer receives the order. In this paper the authors develop a queuing model of a pull-based production control system fro a single-stage facility. |
