The Effects of Low Inventory on the Development of Productivity Norms
Schultz, Kenneth L.; Juran, David C.; Boudreau, John W. - In: Management Science 45 (1999) 12, pp. 1664-1678
Low inventory, a crucial part of just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing systems, enjoys increasing application worldwide, yet …

Analytical and approximate variance of total project cost
Skitmore, Martin; Ng, S. Thomas - 2002
The statistical variance of total project cost is usually estimated by means of Monte Carlo simulation on the assumption that exact analytic approaches are too difficult. This paper tests that assumption and shows that, contrary to expectations, the analytic solution is relatively...

The Output Process of Serial Production Lines of General Machines with Finite Buffers
Hendricks, Kevin B.; McClain, John O. - In: Management Science 39 (1993) 10, pp. 1194-1201
Little is known about the interaction among manufacturing subsystems in a factory. The output of one manufacturing subsystem is usually the input to one or more others in the plant. For example, a production line may provide input to another manufacturing stage, a shipping system, or an...

Management of Worksharing Systems
McClain, John O.; Schultz, Kenneth L.; Thomas, L. Joseph - In: Manufacturing & Service Operations Management 2 (2000) 1, pp. 49-67
Worksharing occurs in serial manufacturing when machines are not uniquely assigned to workers. For example, two workers can operate three machines by alternating usage of the middle one. In some other worksharing systems operators move down the line carrying an item (or batch) with them, working...

Development of lower bounds for the scheduling of setup tasks in serial production lines
Pessan, Cédric; Néron, Emmanuel; Haouari, Mohamed - In: European Journal of Industrial Engineering 7 (2013) 5, pp. 558-576
Efficient production resettings are necessary to achieve production flexibility. For this reason, it is of primary importance to reduce the setup time required to switch the production from one product type to another, and more generally to minimise the loss of production during these resetting...

Throughput in Serial Lines with State-Dependent Behavior
Powell, Stephen G.; Schultz, Kenneth L. - In: Management Science 50 (2004) 8, pp. 1095-1105
Experimental evidence suggests that production-line workers adjust their work rates in certain situations to prevent idle time. We refer to this as state-dependent behavior, in contrast to the state-independent behavior of machines. In this paper, we develop several models for the...
