An overview of design and operational issues of kanban systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a literature review and classi® cation of techniques to determine both the design parameters and kanban sequences for just-in-time manufacturing systems. We summarize the model structures, decision variables, performance measures and assumptions in a tabular format. It is important to state that there is a signi® cant relationship between the design parameters, such as the number of kanbans and kanban sizes, and the scheduling decisions in a multiitem, multi-stage, multi-horizon kanban system. An experimental design is developed to evaluate the impact of operational issues, such as sequencing rules and actual lead times on the design parameters.

Interaction of design and operational parameters in periodic review kanban systems
In this study, we propose an analytical model to determine the withdrawal cycle length, kanban sizes and number of kanbans simultaneously in a multi-item, multi-stage, multi-period, capacitated periodic review kanban system. Traditionally, research in kanban systems has been separated into ‘design level’ research, and ‘shop floor level’ research. In both veins of research, especially for the de...
متن کاملPlanning in a cross dock network with an operational scheduling overview
Nowadays, cross docking plays an important role in the supply chain networks especially in transportation systems. According to the cross dock system advantages such as reducing transportation costs, lead times, and inventories, scheduling in a cross-dock center would be more complicated by increasing the number of suppliers, customers and product types. Considering the cross dock limited capac...
متن کاملA Design Methodology for Kanban-controlled Production Lines Using Queueing Networks and Genetic Algorithms
One way to reduce costs in high volume production lines is to smooth and balance the material flow by means of controlled inventories. Kanban systems are now being implemented worldwide due to their ability of reducing inventories and production lead times. This paper addresses two fundamental design issues in kanban systems and presents an efficient heuristic method for designing such systems....
