Simulation study of a kanban-controlled production system
… successful. JIT systems typically employ kanbans as a means of inventory control. A JIT system operating under kanban control is commonly termed as a "pull system" due to the way in which succeeding stages trigger production at preceding stages. Owing to this close dependence of stages on …

Determining Kanban Size Using Mathematical Programming and Discrete Event Simulation for a Manufacturing System with Large Production Variability
… supply chains can be improved is via the use of kanbans in a pull production system. Kanbans refer to a card or signal for productions scheduling within just-in-time (JIT) production systems to signal where and what to produce, when to produce it, and how much. A Kanban based JIT production …
