Priority mechanism Clause Samples

Priority mechanism. After the arrival of a part, a priority rule is used to give a certain priority to the part. The priority level determines the sequence of the parts in the buffer. The priority rule in this case is based on the inventory level of Ready-for-Use parts. To calculate the inventory level of Ready-for-Use parts the balance equations of Sherbrooke (1992) are used, see Equation 3.1. With this equation, the inventory level of Ready-For-Use parts can be calculated for every time t. When the turn-around stock of SKU i and the numbers of defective parts of SKU i at moment t, are known.
