“…While any individual high-variety shop in practice will certainly differ from the considered stylized model, it captures the high routing variability, processing time variability, and arrival variability that defines this context in practice. Using this model also ensures comparability with earlier Workload Control research that often used this kind of hypothetical job shop model (Paredes et al 2021).…”

Most Workload Control literature assumes that delivery performance is determined by tardiness related performance measures only. While this may be true for companies that directly deliver to end-customers, for make-to-stock companies or firms that are part of supply chains, producing early often means large inventories in the finished goods warehouse or penalties incurred by companies downstream in the supply chain. Some earlier Workload Control studies used a so-called time limit, which constrains the set of jobs that can be considered for order release, to reduce earliness. However, recent literature largely abandoned the time limit since it negatively impacts tardiness performance. This study revisits the time limit, assessing the use of different adaptive policies that restrict its use to periods of either low or high load. By using a simulation model of a pure job shop, the study shows that an adaptive policy allows to balance the contradictory objectives of delaying the release of orders to reduce earliness and to release orders early to respond to periods of high load as quick as possible. Meanwhile, only using a time limit in periods of high load was found to be the best policy.

“…Most of the developed methods in literature contains a logical structure to release orders and they are based on the WLC logical architecture to determine the order release sequence and order release timings [5]. It has been observed that the control of order release is the core of production planning control in all MTO production system [6]. The primary goal of MTO is to reduce work‐in‐process (WIP) inventory, minimise workshop throughout time, reduce lead time, reduce inventory costs, improve production flexibility, and enhance lead time performance [7].…”

Workload control (WLC) is usually employed to make order release to attain workload balance, satisfactory delivery rate and high production efficiency. However, in the real production environment of printed circuit board (PCB) industries, slight modifications in the product process shifts the bottleneck resources which leads to misjudge the effect of WLC and may ultimately increase the lateness of orders. Therefore, this research focuses on the order release problem of PCB production system considering main process flow and shifting of bottlenecks. At first, certain improvements are proposed on the classic WLC method and two order release control strategies based on process switching are designed to generate order release plan on the basis of Lancaster University Management School Corrected Order Release method. Furthermore, different scheduling rules are investigated along with the upper workload limits on the PCB system simultaneously. Finally, a simulation model is developed to analyse the impact of order release methods on the system performance through simulation experiments. Furthermore, extensive simulation experiments for different scheduling rules on bottleneck resource and different workload upper limit ratios are also carried out in the current research. Simulation results show that the process order release control strategy based on process switching has a strong adaptability in PCB manufacturing system.

“…Given its importance, several Workload Control release methods have been proposed in the literature, see e.g., the reviews by [28][29][30][31]. In this paper, we use a continuous version of Workload Control order release given its good performance in previous studies (see e.g., [32]).…”

Improving Urgency-Based Backlog Sequencing of Jobs: An Assessment by Simulation

et al. 2022

When order release is applied, jobs are withheld in a backlog from where they are released to meet certain performance targets. The decision that selects jobs for release is typically preceded by a sequencing decision. It was traditionally assumed that backlog sequencing is only responsible for releasing jobs on time, whereas more recent literature has argued that it can also support load balancing. Although the new load-based rules outperform time-based rules, they can be criticized for requiring workload information from the shop floor and for delaying large jobs. While some jobs will inevitably be delayed during periods of high load, we argue that this delaying decision should be under control of management. A simulation study of a wafer fab environment shows that a time-based rule matches the performance of more complex load-based backlog sequencing rules that have recently emerged. The new rule realizes the lowest percentage of tardy jobs if the lower bound that distinguishes between early and urgent jobs is set appropriately. It provides a simpler means of improving release performance, allowing managers to delay jobs that have adjustable due dates.
