A Study on Operations in Single - Card KANBAN System with a General-Type-Structure Production Process

일반 형태의 생산구조 단일카드 KANBAN 시스템의 운영 최적화

In this paper we study a mathematical programming model for the single-card KANBAN system in a multi-stage capacitated general-type-structure production. Until now this production type setting has not been studied. The modeling of this problem results in a complex integer programming which can be modified to the more simple integer programming model. We present a heuristic method and some numerical examples. Though the presented method doesn't always find an optimal solution, this method guarantees to find a feasible solution. We expect this work to be practised in the real fields.
