| Abstract: | The successful enterprises deliver products and services in shorter throughput time and
turnover inventory as quickly as possible. Three important approaches to achieve these goals are
Materials Requirements Planning (MRPI, MRPII), Just-in-Time (JIT), and Theory of Constraints
(TOC). TOC seems to be a viable proposition because it does not require costly affair of system
change; rather it is simply based on scheduling of the capacity constraint resources. The scheduling
system of theory of constraints (TOC) is often referred as drum-buffer-rope (DBR) system. DBR
systems operate by developing a schedule for the system’s primary resource constraint. Based on
simulation of a flow shop operation considering non-free goods, this study suggests that the
performance of DBR results in lower in process inventory compared to conventional production
system. In addition, the behavior of the system when bottleneck shifts its position has been studied. A
methodology has been proposed using... |
