T1 - A typology of production control situations in process industries JF - International Journal of Operations & Production Management SP - 47 EP - 57 IS - 12 VL - 14 PY - 1994 PB - Emerald Group Publishing Ltd AB - Discusses the variety of production control situations within process industries. Following a literature review, a typology is introduced which discriminates between two extreme types of process industries: batch/mix and process/flow businesses. Reviews the research in production and inventory control in each of the extreme types. Identifies a control framework for operations management in process/flow businesses. Notes that although detailed scheduling approaches for batch/mix businesses exist, a control framework for the latter is missing. Concludes that operations management in batch process industries needs considerable research attention. TS - BibTeX DO - 10.1108/01443579410072382 M4 - Citavi ER -
