Abstract
general, abstract model is proposed for a production system consisting of a flow line, made of several machines, which can produce different products. Based on this model, a formal definition of push and pull concepts is provided. Different operating conditions are considered, and an abstract characterization of the set of all fesible production plans is proposed. Some of its general properties are then investigated: in particular, a minimum wip production plan is characterized, apt to tackle bounded perturbations of processing times.
