Transient behavior of a single-stage kanban system based on the queueing model

Article Abstract:

The transient characteristic of a single-stage kanban system with Poisson demand arrivals and Erlang production times is considered. The system is formulated as an M/E(sub s)/1 queueing framework under piecewise constant load to determine the optimal number of kanbans when a change of load to the system is planned. Numerical results confirm the transient behavior of the kanban system in terms of expected inventory level and expected waiting time to meet demand. The number of kanbans required, and the time necessary to change to this number, is proposed.

Schedule based production

Article Abstract:

A schedule-based production methodology solves problems in production planning and control. The approach integrates manufacturing resources and materials to meet customer demands in a systematic manner. Production data is supported by a bill of manufacture which combines the bill of materials and routing data. Industrial applications reveal an SBP approach to provide an effective production planning and control that is consistent with a just-in-time concept.

An analysis of the impact of plant and management variables in a multi-stage, mixed-model production system

Article Abstract:

A study investigated the problem of setting a number of just-in-time (kanban) parameters within an industrial setting where several mixed model lines exist that are managed by a sequenced kanban technique. Simulations were conducted to validate a logic model designed to link kanban parameters together. The simulations also enabled an analysis of how several uncertain parameters, such as set-up times, affect the performance of the system.
