“…E-Kanban (Al-Hawari and Aqlan, 2012) One novel KCS is Extended Kanban Control System (EKCS) which is a hybrid of the TKCS and the Base Stock. Dallery (2000) was the first to propose this system but only discussed a single product version; Baynat et al, (2002) In this research, we extend the work of (Ang & Piplani, 2010) and conduct a detailed study of the following control systems, modeled as a single-stage, but producing multiple products: In the literature, two kinds of MP/TKCS have been proposed: dedicated and shared; however, they have proven to be equivalent (Baynat et al, 2002). Thus, in this research only the dedicated version is considered and in further discussion the system is simply termed as SS/MP/TKCS.…”

Kanban control systems have been around for decades and have been used to control workin-process of manufacturing systems. Lately many variations of the basic control system have been developed; however much of the work in the development and comparision of control systems has focused on a single stage manufacturing system producing a single product type.In this research we present optimization procedures for multiple product kanban control systems, such as Base Stock, Traditional Kanban Control System and Extended Kanban Control System (both dedicated and shared type). We then conduct a detailed simulation study to compare the performance of the systems using a common total cost measure.Numerical results show that the dedicated and shared extended kanban control systems outperform the other two systems. The study also shows that, inspite of their different schematics and contrary to conventional wisdom, the performance of dedicated and shared extended kanban control systems doesn't differ much.
