Abstract

This paper presents a multi-stage kanban system that operates in a produciont line, which consists of different workstations. Every workstation has a finite production capacity and is reliable. Raw materials are replenished at the first workstation, the semifinished products are then sent to succeeding workstation for further processing until they arrive at the last workstation for completing the final processing to finished goods. Kanbans are fixed between the workstations. The demands of finished products are considered as impulsive demands and occur instantaneously. A model is given to evaluate the capacity of the manufacturing system. Results demonstrated in the paper show the configuration mechanism of kanbans between the workstations and the production capacity of the system. Copyright
