“…It is effective to improve the performance of the bottleneck process for productivity improvement. According to Romagnoli (2015) study, the novel PFB strategy shows better performance compared with traditional CONWIP control, which reduces the standard deviation and average processing time (Prakash and Chin, 2015). The PFB strategy mainly focuses on the operations from the initial process to the bottleneck one, instead of the whole production line.…”

Purpose With an increasingly fierce competition of the shipbuilding industry, advanced technologies and excellent management philosophies in the manufacturing industry are gradually introduced to domestic shipyards. The purpose of this study is to promote the lean management of Chinese ship outfitting plants by lean production strategy. Design/methodology/approach To promote the lean implementation of Chinese shipyards, the lean practice of ship-pipe part production is highlighted by lot-sizing optimization and strategic CONWIP (constant work-in-process) control. A nonlinear programming model is formulated to minimize the total cost of ship-pipe part manufacturing and the particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based algorithm is designed to resolve the established model. Besides, the pull-from-the-bottleneck (PFB) strategy is used to control ship-pipe part production, verified by Simulink simulation. Findings Results show that the proposed lean strategy of the programming model and strategic PFB control could assist Chinese ship outfitting plants to leverage competitive advantage by waste reduction and lean achievement. Specifically, the PFB double-loop control strategy shows better performance when there is high productivity and the PFB single-loop control outperforms at lower productivity scenarios. Practical implications To verify the effectiveness of the proposed lean strategy, a case study is performed to validate the formulated model. Also, simulation experiments realized by FlexSim software are conducted to testify results obtained by the constructed programming model. Originality/value Lean production management practice of the shipyard building industry is performed by the proposed lean production strategy through lot-sizing optimization and strategic PFB control in terms of ship-pipe part manufacturing.

“…However, most MTO companies are very dynamic environments, where customisation, innovation and high variety are the main competitive drivers. Therefore, there are continuous changes in products and production processes (Prakash & Chin, 2015). On one hand, a shorter product life cycle leads to continuous innovation of products and thereby continuous renovation of processes (Madonsela, Mukwakungu, & Mbohwa, 2017).…”

With more and more demanding customers, make-to-order (MTO) companies are becoming more important. Workload control (WLC) is specifically developed for MTO companies. Most previous studies have proposed solutions assuming no mismatch between planned and actual production time. However, in real situations, inaccurate estimation of processing time is a daily routine. This study focuses on processing time estimation error and evaluates performance of two different WLC order review and release (ORR) methods through simulation of a pure flow shop. Simulation results demonstrate that balancing workload is more effective than limiting workload at different error levels. However, with decrease in errors, difference in performance between limiting and balancing methods becomes wider. Further investigation shows that improving processing time estimation heavily affects the order selection process in balancing method, which is the main reason for performance improvement. Finally, aspects of Industry 4.0 are discussed in context of ORR methods in MTO flow shops.
