Production Management: Advanced Models, Tools, and Applications for Pull Systems

Production control systems (PCS) play a critical role in cost optimization of today's global supply chains. PCS manage the physical material flow in the manufacturing plan and are therefore a key driver of inventory levels and productions cost. Since the introduction of Toyota's just-in-time philosophy, pull control strategies have been adopted by numerous companies worldwide both in the manufacturing and service sectors. The most well-known pull control strategies are Kanban, constant work-in-process (CONWIP), and their extensions. This book provides some recent developments in production management and presents modeling and analysis tools for pull production control systems. It includes up-to-date academic research findings to manage and control production systems. Chapters will cover new models, strategies, and analyses that are essential for pull production systems.
