Analysis of a just-in-time production system with supplier kanbans

In this paper, we introduce a generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN) to model a single-process, single-product, Just- In-Time (JIT) manufacturing facility with a supplier kanban system for multiple vendors. Its properties are investigated and the effects of the vendors' activities on the syste...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we introduce a generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN) to model a single-process, single-product, Just- In-Time (JIT) manufacturing facility with a supplier kanban system for multiple vendors. Its properties are investigated and the effects of the vendors' activities on the system are discussed using ANOVA.
