Simulating a JIT/kanban production system using GEMS

Article Abstract:

Just-in-time refers to the movement of material at the necessary place at the necessary time. The implication is that each operation is closely synchronized with the subsequent ones to make that possible. A method of just-in-time production uses standard containers with a single card attached to each. It is a pull system in which work centers signal with a card that they wish to withdraw parts from feeding operations or vendors. Kanban, in Japanese, loosely translated means, "card", literally "billboard" or "sign". The term is often used synonymously for the specific scheduling developed and used by Toyota Corporation in Japan. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Modeling Human Operators on a Microcomputer: A Micro Version of SAINT

Article Abstract:

During the past decade, significant advances have been made in the tools available for human performance modeling. Primary advances have been in the development of languages aimed specifically at operator modeling; concurrently, microcomputer technology has been advancing rapidly. A language, which is conceptually similar to some other network modeling languages, was designed for human operator modeling on a microcomputer. Although this language is more limited in some respects; it is easier to use. The language's capabilities, limitations and operational tests of its efficiency are presented.
