Chapter Chapter 10 in Production Planning with Capacitated Resources and Congestion, 2020, pp 239-262 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The previous chapters have motivated the need for more advanced anticipation functions that can reflect, at least to a reasonable level of accuracy, the nonlinear relations between the workload of a production resource and its expected throughput. Whatever their academic interest, one would hope that the clearing function formalism could provide new insights or performance advantages over the models based on fixed exogenous lead times described in Chap. 5 . This chapter presents several studies where clearing functions have been applied to different problems related to production systems. In several cases, the use of clearing functions provides interesting insights that would be difficult to obtain using the conventional approach of exogenous planned lead times and maximum capacity loading.
