Lot Size Dependence for Energy Consumption per Unit of Production Throughput Considering Rush Orders in Manufacturing Lines

摘要

In an effort to further reduce energy consumption per unit, many studies have, in recent years, been conducted to formulate the relation between energy consumption per unit and lot size along the manufacturing line. Yet, little effort has been directed toward production management and management methods that optimize energy consumption per unit while considering frequent rush orders in the manufacturing system. In this study, we theoretically formulate a relation between lot size and energy consumption per unit that considers rush orders in the manufacturing line.
