Abstract
Abstract The job shop may be viewed as a network of queues with each work center then defined as a single or multichannel service facility. In the low volume situation, manufacturing improvements may be expected of each work station. The effect of learning at the service facility will be seen as a reduction of queue congestion and a lessening of unit waiting time. This may eventually lead to excessive idle service capacity or reduced machine utilization. Where there are several machines at each work station, and learning can be expected, a scheme can be developed wherein machines could be released on a schedule to other work assignments while maintaining a relatively constant level of machine utilization.
