“…The search string was defined according to the main topics regarding the subject. Thus, we consider both the central theme "one-of-a-kind" and the main keywords related to PPC, including: "production planning and control" (Hirsch and Kuhlmann, 1992;Arica and Powell, 2014;Jeon and Kim, 2016); "scheduling" (Ivert, 2012;Junior and Filho, 2012); "pull system" and "just in time" (Jahnukainen and Lahti, 1999;Stevenson et al, 2005;Zadeh et al, 2014); as well as the main support systems for the PCP, such as "manufacturing execution system," "materials resource planning," and "enterprise resource planning" (Rondeau and Litteral, 2001;Jacobs and Weston, 2007;Luo et al, 2011;Ivert, 2012;Wang et al, 2012;Olhager, 2013;Arica and Powell, 2014;Johansen and Rolstad as, 2017).…”

“…Such a manufacturing environment presents as main characteristics, high level of product customization, uncertainties in PPC activities, short production time, simultaneous and interorganizational production, high quality, delivery on time, complex supply chains, strong variability, dynamic manufacturing systems and a versatile and dynamic production plant, often controlled through a practical way (Hirsch and Kuhlmann, 1992;Dean et al, 2009;Huang et al, 2015). OKP systems are typically found in heavy industry, such as mold and die (MD), manufacturing shipyards and large-size industrial equipment (Tu, 1997a;Wang et al, 2012).…”

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to identify some specificities of production planning and control (PPC) activities in the one-of-a-kind-production (OKP) process through an extensive literature review. Relevant aspects related to systems and PPC activities in the context of OKP environment are discussed, and six opportunities for future research are highlighted.Design/methodology/approachThe following research is based on a review of 53 articles published in peer-reviewed journals over the past three decades. After an initial descriptive analysis based on bibliometric indicators, a cluster analysis of 15 most cited articles was carried out using multivariate data analysis techniques and in-depth analysis.FindingsThe results reveal some specificities inherent to the clusters featured in the research, including aspects of planning, control and systems for OKP process. This cluster addresses information regarding next-generation manufacturing systems, scheduling and design science, computer simulation and project approach. On the other hand, the authors point out six topics for future research regarding contemporary issues associated with PPC in the context of OKP.Originality/valueThis paper fills an important gap regarding OKP production planning and control practices. The results provide a theoretical overview of different PPC practices suitable for the OKP environment. Furthermore, it can provide insights for scientific developments in order to manage the complexity inherent in the OKP process.

“…but also by many SMEs. OKP as predicated by Rolstada˚s (1991), Wortmann (1991), and Hirsch et al (1992), could be a promising manufacturing paradigm for the factory of the future. Tu (1997) has characterized the OKP paradigm as: (1) high customization; (2) successful product development and production in one go; (3) optimal or rational utilization of technologies and resources; (4) adaptive production planning and control; (5) continuous customer influence throughout the production; (6) incremental process planning; (7) distributed control and inter-organizational autonomy; and (8) virtual company structure and global manufacturing.…”

Capacitated production planning with outsourcing in an OKP company

This paper addresses a dynamic capacitated production planning (CPP) problem in small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These companies practise their businesses based on a manufacturing paradigm called one-of-a-kind production (OKP). Typically, they employ outsourcing in their CPP practice. Therefore, the CPP problem in this paper includes outsourcing, which is called the outsourcing CPP problem. The outsourcing strategy considered in this paper has the following features: (1) outsourcing takes place when the demand exceeds the capacity; (2) all excessive demands are outsourced without backlogging; and (3) production, inventory, and outsourcing levels all have a limit. One important difference of the problem considered in this paper from other problems is that the cost functions are considered arbitrarily time-varying. The outsourcing CPP problem is formulated into an optimization problem which captures the mentioned features. The objective of the problem is to minimize the total cost. It is very likely that there is no solution in our model so we propose a necessary and sufficient condition for feasible solutions. Dynamic programming techniques are employed in searching for a global optimal solution with a pseudo-polynomial time. This paper also presents a case study for a real-life problem in an OKP company to illustrate our approach and to show its effectiveness. The case study has shown that our approach is very effective.
