This study investigates the look-ahead control of a conveyor-serviced production station (CSPS), viewed as a production … center, which is connected to a sales center. The production station is equipped with a buffer to temporarily store the parts … decision-making on the look-ahead range of such demand-driven CSPS is subject to the constraints of production and sales levels …
