Effective Mass Me of WIP derived from Little’s Law …

Derivation of Minimum Batch size to minimize WIP and Cycle Time R …

The Ohno Criterion states that WIP with faster velocities have lower cost than WIP with average slower velocities, in … manufacturing cycles per unit time: v=G/W where W= number of pieces of Work In Process Inventory (WIP), and G = rate at which pieces … exit from WIP to finished goods per unit time. This velocity is derived from Little’s Law: average cycle time t=W/G units …

We present a new unifying framework for investigating throughput-WIP (Work-in-Process) optimal control problems in … throughput-WIP performance pair in a stochastic system satisfies the Threshold Property we introduce in this paper, then we can … reformulate the problem of optimizing a linear objective of throughput-WIP performance as a (semi-infinite) LP problem over a …
