About this document

CONWIP Flowlines: Modeling and Analysis by ostap is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses modeling CONWIP (constant work-in-process) flowlines as closed queueing networks to analyze their performance. The key steps are: 1) Model a CONWIP line with WIP level W as a closed queueing network with W jobs. 2) Develop an iterative algorithm to compute performance measures like throughput and cycle time for different W levels. 3) Derive upper bounds for throughput and discuss how to "pull" the performance curve to the left to reduce cycle time and WIP for a given throughput.
