The purpose of this article is to get a deeper understanding about how pooling strategies and lead-time decisions can be implemented to attain a high duedate performance in manufacturing systems. The authors define a model for a dedicated and pooled manufacturing operation based on queuing systems with two flows of order types. Specifically, they model the due-date management problem for two production configurations: as a queuing model formed by two queues disposed in parallel, each dedicated to one flow of orders, or as a pooled queuing model formed by a unique queue, which serves two flows of orders. They perform a simulation study to evaluate and compare the average due-date lead-time (DDLT) for the two configuration models. Finally, the authors develop an analytical study for a simplified setting to obtain deeper insights into pooling in manufacturing.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to get a deeper understanding about how pooling strategies and lead-time decisions can be implemented to attain a high duedate performance in manufacturing systems. The authors define a model for a dedicated and pooled manufacturing operation based on queuing systems with two flows of order types. Specifically, they model the due-date management problem for two production configurations: as a queuing model formed by two queues disposed in parallel, each dedicated to one flow of orders, or as a pooled queuing model formed by a unique queue, which serves two flows of orders. They perform a simulation study to evaluate and compare the average due-date lead-time (DDLT) for the two configuration models. Finally, the authors develop an analytical study for a simplified setting to obtain deeper insights into pooling in manufacturing.
