Abstract

In this paper we review the use of tradeoff curves in the design of manufacturing systems that can be modeled as open queueing networks. We focus particularly on the tradeoff between expected work‐in‐process (or product leadtime) and capacity investment in job shops. We review the algorithms in the literature to derive tradeoff curves and illustrate their application in evaluating the efficiency of the system, in deciding how much capacity to have, how to allocate resources between the reduction of uncertainty and the introduction of new technologies, and how to assess the impact of changes in products throughput and product mix. The methodology is illustrated with an example derived from an actual application in the semiconductor industry.
