Synopsis
Reduce volatility in production with a practical planning window approach.
This study examines how to smooth production in a job shop when finished goods inventory isn’t stocked and backorders aren’t allowed. It introduces a simple planning window that stretches delivery time to enable steadier output while honoring firm orders.
The book walks through a real-world case study and two smoothing options, showing how production can be adjusted over a defined window to reduce changes in output and stabilize costs. It also presents an analytic model and simulation results to help managers understand the tradeoffs between smoothing, lead times, and inventory.- Learn how to set a planning window between production lead time and delivery lead time to smooth demand.
- See how different window lengths affect production variance, change in production, and inventory levels.
- Compare an approximate model that allows backorders with a no-backorder smoothing approach used in practice.
- Explore practical guidance for applying smoothing concepts in a job-shop environment with order-based production.
