..., 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...

... in Thailand. Performance Lean manufacturing Manufacturing industry Kanban Just-in-time With ongoing developments in the field of manufacturing and the enhancement of operational management practices, lean manufacturing (LM) has gained increasing importance in the area of manufacturing...

... face the typical problem of improving the performance of processes in manufacturing industries (Fernandes and Godinho Filho, 2010). In the 1980s, the system boosted by the Japanese industry, named Kanban, became popular all over the world. In the 1990s, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts...

... of future research directions related to VM was identified. This paper synthesises the key literature related to VM, providing a conceptual picture of the current knowledge. Lean production Literature Production management Kanban Contemporary society has experienced an explosion...

...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...

.../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...

...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...

...Ina S. Markham; Richard G. Mathieu; Barry A. Wray Determining the number of circulating kanban cards is important in order effectively to operate a just‐in‐time with kanban production system. While a number of techniques exist for setting the number of kanbans, artificial...

... systems are said to pervade industry so a brief review will be presented here. We begin with early references, and note finally how material requirements planning (MRP) methods link with the use of kanban in JIT systems. Early articles, such as that by Kimura and Terada[ 2 ] of Toyota Motor...
