The Effect of Optimum Number of Kanbans in just in Time Production System to Manufacturing Performance (original) (raw)

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013

Abstract

This paper discusses a method to determine optimum numbers of kanban in Just In Time production system and analyzes effect of optimum numbers of kanban to manufacturing performance. Method to determine kanban numbers was carried out by designing kanban flow based current situation, gathering relevant parameter on floor and company database, and calculating of kanban quantity through basic mathematical model. The basic mathematical model of kanban is derived according to designated kanban flow in JIT production system. The optimum number of kanbans would control and regulate material flow in manufacturing, thus JIT is achieved. As a result, product lead time and inventory stock level are improved. The conclusion is that an appropriate determination numbers of kanban could lead to optimizing manufacturing capability.
