“…The choice of the production system must be in accordance with the performance objectives of the organization; however, each productive environment has its peculiarities, which makes this choice not trivial. Some authors, such as Wolfsgruber and Lichtenegger (2016), Gong et al (2014), Pettersen and Segerstedt (2009), Takahashi and Hirotani (2005), Krishnamurthy et al (2004), Geraghty and Heavey (2003), Huang et al (1998), Bonvik et al (1997), Roderick et al (1994), Spearman and Zananis (1992), Spearman et al (1990), and Lee (1989) proposed comparative experimental studies, pointing out the differences of production systems in specific environments. It is a consensus among the authors that the performance of different systems may be different in each productive environment, although the characteristics pertinent to the type of scheduling are kept similar in all experiments.…”
