Abstract

One key task of production logistics is the positioning of work systems in the field of conflict between the logistic performance measures throughput time, work in progress (WIP) level, machine utilisation and schedule reliability. The interdependencies of these logistic performance measures can be simulated by the Logistic Production Operating Curves in qualitative and quantitative terms. These curves therefore enable the logistical positioning of work systems. Starting with the derivation and the validation of the mathematical description of the Logistic Production Operating Curves for individual work systems, the paper introduces further Logistic Operating Curves for describing logistic parameters.
