..., that system still operates as a push PCS. However, the transformation from push to pull PCS requires extensive design knowledge. For example, Kanban system is the most common and well-known mechanism of pull production, but there are other pull mechanisms such as Constant Work-in-Process (CONWIP) and Paired...

...-to-order (MTO) job shop, where the volume is typically low and there is high variety. This paper examines the procedures involved in implementing a constant work-in-process (CONWIP)/Kanban hybrid system in the shop floor environment and also provides insights and guidelines on the implementation...

...Sabry Shaaban; Sarah Hudson; Oladipupo A. Olaitan; John Geraghty Purpose The aims of this paper is to investigate simulation‐based optimisation and stochastic dominance testing while employing kanban‐like production control strategies (PCS) operating dedicated and, where applicable...

...Sabry Shaaban; Sarah Hudson; Liang Zhang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study kanban‐controlled pull‐systems with machines having the exponential reliability model and with buffers finite capacities. Design/methodology/approach Using Markovian analysis closed formulas...

.../approach A literature review of the problem is presented and a new supply chain coordination mechanism is then proposed. Findings The paper reveals that the one aspect not deeply studied yet in the supply chain management is their short‐term control. A simple kanban coordination mechanism...

... and purchased materials just in time to be transformed into fabricated parts. There is, nowadays, no real need for the company to use physical cards for the kanban – electronic methods will work equally well. In fact it may be somewhat better in many cases. But there is some worth in maintaining...
