| Abstract: | Setting container sizes is one of the first decisions that users of kanban systems must address. Yet researchers have largely assumed container sizes to be given. This paper investigates the effect of container size on average inventory and customer service levels in a two-card kanban system processing multiple part types. Simulation results show that smaller containers lead to smaller average total inventories and that smaller containers do not always lead to poorer average customer service. |
