Abstract

A graphical method is proposed as a tool for evaluating the impact of different control rules or different shop configurations upon shop performance. The shop operating characteristics curve simultaneously displays indices for the throughput rate, the flow time, and the level of work-in-process. The method of constructing and applying the shop operating characteristics curve is illustrated using several examples. The invariance property of the curve also is discussed.
