Abstract

A mixed‐model multilevel manufacturing facility running under a just‐in‐time (JIT) production system is controlled by setting the production schedule for the highest level in the facility, which is usually a mixed‐model final assembly line. The schedule is set to achieve the goals of the organization, which under JIT are (1) to keep a constant rate of part usage, and (2) to maintain a smooth production load. In this article we extend earlier work in the literature, which focused on the first goal, by developing scheduling procedures which satisfy both goals. Properties of the resulting production schedules are analyzed and illustrative examples are presented.
