Abstract

The relation between workload and cycle time revealed by queueing models suggests that regulating the workload of the production unit can maintain its average cycle time at a desired level while still producing the desired level of output. Since workload is determined by the order release process linking the planning and scheduling levels, a wide range of order release procedures based on maintaining a stable workload level in the production units have been suggested. In this chapter, we discuss the extensive body of work that approaches this problem without explicit models of material flow over time. We then discuss the advantages and shortcomings of this family of approaches, setting the stage for the model-driven release planning approaches presented in the subsequent chapters.
