Abstract
We present two factory control policies derived from optimal control considerations. Using sample factories distributed by Sematech, we compare the performance of these policies to other control strategies such as kanban and periodic lot release. We show that the policies designed for high variability environments have very attractive properties, including higher throughput than periodic release and much lower inventories than kanban
