Stock Optimization of a Kanban-based Assembly Line
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this paper is to describe a way to optimize the stock reserves for an existing assembly line where the parts are supplied according to the Kanban-method. The optimization is based on a simulation, for which a simulation tool was developed. The tool uses matrices resulting from a Stochastic Time Petri Net model of the assembly line (its size leads to a special kind of sparse matrices) and performs the simulation. The goal is to simulate the worst-case scenarios (e.g. delivery delays).

متن کاملMulti-objective scheduling and assembly line balancing with resource constraint and cost uncertainty: A “box” set robust optimization
Assembly lines are flow-oriented production systems that are of great importance in the industrial production of standard, high-volume products and even more recently, they have become commonplace in producing low-volume custom products. The main goal of designers of these lines is to increase the efficiency of the system and therefore, the assembly line balancing to achieve an optimal system i...
