CONWIP (Constant Work-In-Process) is a pull-oriented production control system that is classified as both a pull and push system. In a CONWIP system, cards are used to control and limit the number of works-in-process in the system. A card must be available before a new part can enter the production line. Once a part is finished, its card is returned to the first workstation to allow another part to enter the system. Simulation studies have found that CONWIP systems can achieve lower WIP levels than traditio
