“…(See, for example, Berkley (1992) for a survey paper on Kanban, and Framinan et al (2003) for a survey paper on CONWIP. Also, see for example, Spearman et al (1990), Roof (1998), Huang et al (1998), Duri et al (2000b), Framinan et al (2000), Zhang and Chen (2001), Ip et al (2007), Yildiz and Tunali (2008) on the application of CONWIP in manufacturing systems, and Hopp and Spearman (1991), Duenyas andHopp (1992, 1993), Duenyas (1994), and Hazra and Seidmann (1996) for its application in assembly operations.) Sato and Khojasteh-Ghamari (2012) developed an integrated framework for analyzing performance of card-based production control mechanisms using the theory of token transaction systems.…”

“…The performance measures used were short-term profit and production rate. Duri et al [13] established an analytical method for evaluating the performance of CONWIP systems. This method involved inspecting a saturated system and a system with external demands by evaluating the throughput, average finished parts, and utilization rate of a station.…”

Production planning and control in semiconductor manufacturing is complicated by high-level of re-entrant. Job batching is commonly used to reduce required setup time and maximize workstation utilization. New research promotes CONWIP in pull production systems, while limiting overall work-in-process. However, the implications of batching on CONWIP systems have not been well studied. This paper describes a series of simulation studies and adopted ANOVA and response surface methodology to investigate the effects and relationship of batching on different numbers of CONWIP cards, demand composition, re-entrant, and setup times. Simulation results show that all batching systems exhibited a high number of CONWIP cards and low job mix, total layers, and setup times when the lowest average flow time as well as the highest throughput level and workstation utilization are achieved. The overall result reveals that batching systems outperform non-batching systems in the simulation model of a CONWIP production control system in semiconductor manufacturing.

“…Other studies of CONWIP simulate a whole supply chain, such as the works by Rubiano Ovalle and Crespo Marquez (2003), Özbayrak et al (2006), Pettersen & Segestedt (2009), or even extend the use of CONWIP to Project Management (Anavi-Isakow & Golany, 2003). Some papers also evaluate performances of CONWIP by studying card setting and control (Framinan et al, 2006;Renna, 2010;Braglia et al, 2011) or simulate a simple production system (Huang et al, 1998;Duri et al, 2000). However, though most of the papers claim that CONWIP is superior to both MRP and JIT (Roderick et al, 1994;Huang et al, 1998;Pettersen & Segerstedt, 2009), all the previously mentioned studies suffer from one specific limitation: they fail to address the integration of CONWIP into the shop floor of a real complex firm.…”

This paper presents a methodology for the design and integration of CONWIP in a make-to-order firm. The approach proposed was applied directly to the flexible job shop of a real manufacturing firm in order to assess the validity of the methodology. After the description of the whole plant layout, attention was focused on a section of the shop floor (21 workstations). The CONWIP system deals with multiple-product families and is characterized by path-type cards and a pullfrom-the-bottleneck scheme. The cards release strategy and a customized dispatching rule were created to meet the firm's specific needs. After the simulation model of the present state was built and validated, the future state to be implemented was created and simulated (i.e. the CONWIP system). The comparison between the two systems achieved excellent results, and showed that CONWIP is a very interesting tool for planning and controlling a complex flexible job shop.
