For mixed-model production lines, this paper proposes a production control system based on lean and agile strategies for responding to changes in product mix is proposed. Performance of the proposed system under the conditions of unstable changes in product-mix is analyzed by simulation experiments, and it can be claimed that the proposed system can respond to changes in product mix by re-allocating work elements into each work center, and inventories can be decreased without decreasing customer service level.
