However, the actual performance impact of this remains largely unknown. Using discrete event simulation, this study com-pares scheduling based on the on-hand inventory, with scheduling based on the inventory net flow position. Results of our study show that scheduling based on the former performs best, particularly when multiple production orders are simultaneously generated and progress independently on the shop floor. Our finds give hints that are important to both, industrialengProduction controlDDMRPPriority schedulingconference object10.1007/978-3-031-45642-8_41
