Parallel algorithm for setting WIP levels for multi-product CONWIP systems

Reducing work-in-process (WIP) inventory is continuing to be an important business need because of several factors including the need to reduce working capital. Numerous techniques have been suggested for WIP reduction, and CONWIP is a competitive algorithm for WIP reduction. Prior CONWIP algorithms...
