| Abstract: | Order release is where orders are released to the shopfloor for processing. An order release mechanism (ORM) can control order release, such that orders are selectively released so as to improve shop management and performance. This paper reports on the development of an ORM for a specific flexible flow system (FFS), where the primary criterion in running the system is flowtime. The ORM determines what order to release when, and makes the routeing decisions for each order. |
