This study investigates the behavior of a job shop depicted as an integral component of a firm. A market places demands for the firm's products by dynamically evaluating the organization's quoted delivery times and actual delivery performance. The closed‐loop model simulated in this study is described and the salient research results are reported. These experimental outcomes suggest that other conventional open‐loop job shop studies tend to neglect important interactions with factors external to the shop itself.
