The system dynamic in the simulation analysis of a CONWIP controlled lamp production line

Production inventory control is an essential problem of manufacturing systems. System dynamics (SD) is more suitable for the simulation analysis of manufacturing. In this paper, system dynamics is used for modeling and analysis of the CONWIP controlled lamp production line. The description of the problem is proposed, the SD model is elaborated and the simulation analysis is evaluated. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the SD model.
