Implementing a hybrid simulation model for a Kanban-based material handling system
Plant floor material handling is a loose loop in most assembly plants. Simulation offers a quick, controllable and tunable approach for prototyping complex material handling processes in manufacturing environments. This paper proposes a hybrid simulation approach, using both discrete event and agent-based technologies, to model complex material handling processes in an assembly line. A prototyp...
متن کاملSupply Chain Efficiencies Through E-Kanban: A Case Study
Electronic Kanban (e-Kanban) is a system of signaling that makes use of information technology (IT) to trigger the movement of raw materials to allow for a real time view of inventory throughout a supply chain. This paper presents a case study of the use of an e-Kanban system to minimize operational and logistics issues for a parts supplier within the automotive industry. Measures of operations...
متن کاملModelling and Simulation of a Material Flow System
Modern production control systems, e.g. a factory for cars or any other complex industrial good face two major problems. First, the systems need to become more decentralised to increase their availability. Second, the markets force the demand of smaller lot sizes and more flexibility to produce different goods in parallel. Nowadays, re-configuration of production control systems consists of two...
متن کاملOptimizing Flow Shop Sequencing Through Simulation Optimization Using Evolutionary Methods
This paper describes an approach to use an adapted Evolution Strategies (ES) algorithm to generate improved sequences for producing unique parts in a flow shop. The algorithm uses principles from both genetic algorithms and Evolution Strategies. While several alternative algorithms were considered, the focus of this paper is on the one that performed the best for this problem domain. The best a...
متن کاملImplementation of Just in Time Production through Kanban System
Uncertainties brought about by fluctuations in demand and customers’ requirements have led many established companies to improve their manufacturing process by adopting the Kanban system. By doing so, they are able to manufacture and supply the right product, in the right quantity, at the right place and time. Implementation of the Kanban system resulted in reduction of inventory to minimum lev...
