Push and Pull Production Systems - Comparisons of CONWIP with MRP
6 important questions on Push and Pull Production Systems - Comparisons of CONWIP with MRP
Regarding CONWIP Robustness, encircle the right answer:
"A CONWIP system is more/less robust to erros in WIP level than a pure push system is to errors in release rate."
A CONWIP system is MORE robust to erros in WIP level than a pure push system is to errors in release rate.
What is meant by the fact that push systems are less efficient than an equivalent CONWIP system?
It means that a push system will have more WIP or longer CT on average, for a given level of TH, than an equivalent CONWIP system.
Josh states: "A push system has more variability in CT than an equivalent CONWIP system, because the standard deviations of CT are much larger even though the mean cycle time is somewhat smaller."
Is Josh right?
He is not completely right. Actually mean cycle times will be larger for the push system as well.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What would you expect to happen to figure 10.7 if a higher value of h or lower value of p was used?
The picture would 'shrink vertically' using the same values on the axis.
Robustness in terms of actual values would get smaller (a smaller area in the graph), but relative robustness would stay more or less the same (the area under the pure push curve also gets smaller).
Why does the book state the second last sentence on p. 372 as:
''We find the best WIP level for the CONWIP system is ... . In the push system, the best TH turns out to be ..."
instead of:
''We find the best WIP level for the CONWIP system to be ... and for the push system to be ... ."
or "We find the best TH for the push system to be ... and for the CONWIP system to be ..." ?
Because in a CONWIP line you control WIP and observe TH and in a push system you control TH and observe WIP.
Can the MVA model in 10.4.2 be used for any CONWIP line?
No, it is only reasonably accurate for . Also it only applies to lines where stations behave as M/G/1 queues, so when
and no multi-machine stations.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
