Models of Heijunka-levelled Kanban-systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Heijunka is a key-element of the Toyota production system. It is used to level the release of production kanbans in order to achieve an even production program over all possible types of products thus reducing or eliminating the bullwhip effect. In this paper the dependencies between the parameters of the levelling process and the requirements in finished goods stocks are derived, resulting in an instrument for the sizing of heijunka controlled kanban loops.

Multivariate Simulation Analysis of Production Leveling (heijunka) - a Case Study
Production leveling (heijunka) is one of the lean tool that is used to stabilize a manufacturing system (reduce the bullwhip effect). Production leveling is a kind of cyclic scheduling that creates production regularity and coordination simplicity. This article describes simulation modeling and multivariate analysis of an assembly production line in a microelectronics factory. The assembly line...

متن کاملAnalytical Performance Analysis of Kanban Systems Using a New Approximation for Fork/Join Stations
In this paper, we propose a new approximate approach for analyzing queuing models of single stage kanban systems. The approach is based on parametric decomposition technique and two moment approximations. The main building block of our approach is a new two-moment approximation characterizing the performance of fork/join stations fed by general inputs. Using this approximation we develop analyt...
متن کاملTwo Moment Approximations for Fork/Join Stations with Applications to Modeling Kanban Systems
In queuing models of kanban systems, fork/join stations are used to model the synchronization constraints between parts and kanbans. Efficient analysis of these fork/join stations is quite crucial to analytical performance evaluation of kanban systems. Exact analysis of the fork/join station can be difficult especially if the input processes have general characteristics. We propose a new method...
