| Abstract: | Three problem areas exist in designing and implementing a kanban controlled just-in-time system: the identification of flow lines problem, the flow line loading problem and the operational control problem. Addressed is the operational control problem. A general N-stage serial production system is modelled as a discrete time Markov process. Capacity constraints, stochastic machine reliability and demand variability are included. The model is illustrated by a 3-stage system describing the effects of the number of kanbans, and the machine reliability. |
