If companies apply setup-optimised sequencing to reduce setup efforts, varying replenishment times of the finished goods warehouse will increase the required safety inventories of the products. This publication presents a comprehensive manufacturing control concept for workstations with sequence-dependent setup times in make-to-stock production. The manufacturing control concept aims to effectively control the workstation and finished goods inventory, thereby enhancing the achievement of logistical objectives. The proposed concept integrates three relevant tasks of manufacturing control: order generation, capacity control, and sequencing. Cumulative Production Figures serve as a superordinate procedure, facilitating order generation and capacity control, while cyclical sequencing reduces setup efforts. Simulation experiments validate and evaluate the manufacturing control concept, demonstrating its effectiveness in managing setup efforts while limiting the negative impacts on required safety inventories. The results align with theoretical modeling and show potential for practical application in companies with make-to-stock production.enCyclical sequencingMake-to-stock productionManufacturing controlSequence-dependent setup timesTechnology::600: TechnologyConference Paper10.1007/978-3-032-03542-4_13Conference Paper
