20.500.12556/DKUM-97459 A comparative study of different pull control strategies in multi-product manufacturing systems using discrete event simulation Pull production control strategies coordinate manufacturing operations based on actual demand. Up to now, relevant publications mostly examine manufacturing systems that produce a single type of a product. In this research, we examine the CONWIP, Base Stock, and CONWIP/Kanban Hybrid pull strategies in multi-product manufacturing systems. In a multi-product manufacturing system, several types of products are manufactured by utilizing the same resources. We develop queueing network models of multi-stage, multiproduct manufacturing systems operating under the three aforementioned pull control strategies. Simulation models of the alternative production systems are implemented using an open-source software. A comparative evaluation of CONWIP, Base Stock and CONWIP/Kanban Hybrid in multi-product manufacturing is carried out in a series of simulation experiments with varying demand arrival rates, setup times and control parameters. The control strategies are compared based on average wait time of backordered demand, average finished products inventories, and average length of backorders queues. The Base Stock strategy excels when the manufacturing system is subjected to high demand arrival rates. The CONWIP strategy produced consistently the highest level of finished goods inventories. The CONWIP/Kanban Hybrid strategy is significantly affected by the workload that is imposed on the system. discrete event simulation (DES) open-source software JaamSim DES software multi-product manufacturing multi-stage production systems pull-type production control strategies simulacije diskretnih dogodkov odprtokodna programska oprema programska oprema JaamSim DES proizvodnja več izdelkov večstopenjski proizvodni sistemi strategije nadzora proizvodnje tipa pull true false true Univerza v Mariboru Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://apem-journal.org/Archives/2021/Abstract-APEM16-4_473-484.html Članek v reviji 2026-03-10 14:56:36 2026-03-10 14:56:36 2026-03-11 03:07:58 2026-03-12 03:07:42 2021 0 0 str. 473-484 no. 4 Vol. 16 Dec. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2021-09-17 2021-12-03 2021-12-18 004.94 270927107 10.14743/apem2021.4.414 1854-6250 URN:SI:UM:DK:3JIT4SW9 APEM16-4_473-484.pdf APEM16-4_473-484.pdf 1 BE488D1C18ECB420F8CC9222A31FA0E3 19a0d26cf795c33e4c4a6114c75bfc19455411a8f5302b553c540d72887e5ac0 3a9af1e6-1c89-11f1-bd80-00155d580e1a https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=204402 https://apem-journal.org/Archives/2021/Abstract-APEM16-4_473-484.html 0 4131418f-1c89-11f1-bd80-00155d580e1a https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=204403 Fakulteta za strojništvo Advances in production engineering & management 0 0 0
