Abstract

The paper defines batch or job shop production and reviews the functions of production planning and production control in a job shop manufacturing situation. It argues that the separation of planning and control has resulted in the artificial isolation of the sequencing problem in job shop research. It attempts to redefine the production control function for a job shop, now called job shop control, and discusses the activities it involves. The major decision making problems associated with job shop control are highlighted and an objective function of costs to aid in management decision making is evolved. Finally various techniques used to analyse the job shop control problem are briefly reviewed. Digital simulation, it is concluded, offers the best potential because it allows representation of the dynamic behaviour of the job shop in such a way that various policies can be tried out under reasonably realistic conditions and without the major simplifying assumptions necessary if other formulations are to prove feasible.
