Abstract
Due to the growing demand in product consumption, companies try to increase their profit by striving to achieve satisfactory production capacity under limited resources. This resource, so called “the bottleneck” causes inability of a system to respond to sudden changes in demand as a result of capacity restriction. Different controlling mechanisms have their own way to direct materials through the system as well as this bottleneck in which they can affect the speed of material flow. This study is aimed to improve existing systems and recommend important decision variables, which may influence the performance of the system under this restricted condition. Results from the study will reveal an interesting outcome, giving the best alternative for the production system under the bottleneck condition. Index Terms- Production controls system, Hybrid systems, Bottleneck process, Genetic Algorithm.
