Abstract:

This paper presents a logistics framework to cope with the problem of planning and control of production flows processed on a set of work cells distributed among component firms of a Virtual Enterprise (VE). The Constraints Theory framework is employed to study constraint-based production flow coordination rules. The article discusses relationships linking structural parameters (e.g. Buffer capacity, machine tool efficiency, and automated storage/retrieval systems) of VE components with material flow control guaranteeing efficient completion of work orders, and specified by such parameters as batch deliver periods, work-in-process and make-span. The results are summarized in the form of a performance evaluation scheme. Examples using a software pockage that implements the proposed flow coordination methodology are also provided.
