摘要
This study is an evaluation of the drum-buffer-rope (DBR) control mechanism compared to the modified infinite loading (MIL) control mechanism in a job shop environment. Although previous research has shown that the MIL mechanism works well in this environment, this study finds that the DBR control mechanism performs significantly better. The performance of the DBR mechanism improves when the shortest processing time (SPT) dispatching rule is used. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
