Description ix, 151 leaves : illustrations ; 30 cm + 1 computer laser optical disc (4 3/4 in.) Summary Often manufacturing enterprises will maintain high levels of Work In Progress (WIP) to maximise production throughput. Using computer simulation, this thesis investigates a manufacturing facility and identifies an optimal level of WIP. At this optimum throughput is maximised, manufacturing lead times are minimised, and the WIP level is significantly reduced Notes Submitted to the School of Engineering and Technology of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Deakin University Thesis (M.Eng.)--Deakin University, Victoria, 2001 Bibliography Includes bibliographies Subject Production planning -- Computer simulation. Production management -- Computer simulation. Genre/Form Academic theses. Author Deakin University. School of Engineering and Technology Deakin University. Faculty of Science and Technology.
