| Abstract: | The kitting problem in multi-echelon assembly systems is to allocate on-hand stock and anticipated future deliveries to kits to minimize total cost, consisting of job earliness, job tardiness, and in-process holding costs. This paper describes the kitting problem and compares the performance of 3 heuristics to resolve it. Solutions will facilitate time managed flow control prescribing kitting decisions that promote cost effective performance to schedule. |
