In this paper we deal with the problem of allocating at least one place not shared among the other circuits. Kanban systems belong to this class. Then, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions 1 a given number of tokens, so as to maximize the firing rate of a cyclic event graph with deterministic transition firing delays. We propose a new incremental algorithm that is inspired by the algo...

Simulation of manufacturing systems, historically the first major application area of discrete-event process simulation, is becoming a steadily more proactive and important strategy for achieving manufacturing efficiency. Concurrently, lean manufacturing has become a nearly essential corporate strategy to compete successfully in an increasingly austere and global business environment. Furthermo...

INTRODUÇÃO: Kanban é um sistema de controle estoques criado para apoiar o método produção enxuta da Toyota, Just in time, podendo contribuir gestão estoque maneira visual e prática, indicando a necessidade quais produtos precisam ser reabastecidos. As principais vantagens são redução dos níveis estoques, lead-times, evitar retrabalhos simplificar os mecanismos administração. OBJETIVO: Controlar...
