| Abstract: | This paper discusses how synchronizing finish times for correspondingly numbered process operations of mating component parts (batches) can help a job shop take advantage of some aspects of the just-in-time philosophy.This paper proposes that the synchronization of process operations of mating parts (batches) can be an effective production planning tool that may actually decrease total throughput time where manufacturers are attempting to decrease in-process inventory. An example problem is included to demonstrate the situation.A production planner must keep in perspective all production orders when trying to decrease in-process inventory. The throughput times of all orders may be increased, while too much effort is concentrated on reducing in-process inventory costs of individual orders. |
