Abstract: Companies with high variety of high-mix products are interested in having smoother production flow to cope with tardiness, to this end, they have been looking for an effective production and material flow control (PMFC) system to gain competitive advantages. In practice, paired-cells overlapping loops of cards with authorisation (POLCA) system has had a great remarkable success. This paper deals with a simulation-optimisation approach to evaluate POLCA control system in workshops before implementing it.
