“…Several modified kanban methodologies were developed to deal with demand variability while preserving the advantages of traditional kanban system. Gupta and Al-Turki [19,20,21] and Gupta et al [22] proposed the concept of the flexible kanban system (FKS) in various environments involving uncertainties and interruptions. They demonstrated that in such environments, FKS outperforms the traditional kanban system.…”

Your This paper investigates the effect on the performance of two production control mechanisms, viz. push and pull, on a disassembly line where interruptions are caused by preventive maintenance. In the push system, blocking and starvation are compensated by the large amount of inventories stored in the buffers. Thus, the system must disassemble components prior to the arrival of actual demand. Alternatively, the multi-kanban pull system offsets the blocking and starvation by manipulating the kanban routing. Hence, it directs kanban to the proper workstation based on system's current status. Compared to the push system, the pull system tends to keep smaller amounts of inventories while attempting to service the actual demand. Through a case example, we present advantages and disadvantages of both systems.

“…Louis and Raymond [8] purposed that Kanban should be designed and adapted to implement in the proper way in accordance with each environment. Gupta et al [9] proposed a Flexible Kanban System (FKS) to handle random interruption in the production process. Several examples were carried out to compare the performances of this FKS policy with respect to the traditional JIT system and found this new system can outperform the traditional JIT system in all the cases considered.…”

Abstract.A key success for automotive suppliers relies on its on-time delivery and efficient manufacturing process. A case-study rubber seal manufacturer is using just in time (JIT) techniques, requiring efficient process flow with low wastes. However, the majority of the current processes still rely on workers' expertise that can lead to process errors. In 2011, 699 events of rubber supplying delays were found and 525 events or 75.11% of these delays are due to inappropriate ordering and management of the Kanban system in the rubber preparation process. The objective of this research is, therefore, to improve the rubber preparation process by developing a logical method to identify appropriate times for each step and designing information management for the Electronic Kanban System (E-Kanban) to be able to deliver effective and accurate signaling. This E-Kanban system must be able to automatically indicate when each step in the rubber preparation should start so that the rubbers are prepared and ready for the next moulding process by the time they are needed. We also design user interface for an effective use of the system in actual operation. After the developed E-Kanban system was implemented in the factory from July to October 2012, we found that the number of rubber supplying delays could be reduced to 86 events and only 11 events or 12.79% of these delays are from the rubber preparation process.

This paper presents a simulation experiment comparing the Single Stage, Single Product Base Stock (BS), Traditional Kanban Control System (TKCS) and Extended Kanban Control System (EKCS). The results showed that BS incurs the highest cost in all scenarios; while EKCS is found to be effective only in a very niche scenario. TKCS is still a very powerful factory management system to date; and EKCS did not perform exceptionally well. The only time EKCS did outperform TKCS was during low demand arrival rates and low Backorder (C b ) and Shortage costs (C s ). That is because during then, it holds no stock. The most important discovery made here is that EKCS becomes TKCS once it has base stock (or dispatched kanbans). The results have also evinced the strength of the pure kanban system, the TKCS over BS. Hence managers using BS should consider upgrading to TKCS to save cost.
