On the design of generalized kanban control systems

Abstract

Considers a class of control systems known as generalized kanban control systems (GKCS) which can be used to implement a pull control mechanism in a manufacturing system. In a GKCS, the production system is decomposed into stages, where each stage consists of a production sub‐system. There are two design parameters per stage: one controls the work‐in‐process in the stage and the other determines the maximum number of finished products of this stage. Investigates the influence of these design parameters on the efficiency of generalized kanban control policies by deriving qualitative properties as well as using experimental results on the behaviour of GKCS.
