Production Planning and Kanban Operations in JIT Systems for Small Manufacturers

중소기업을 위한 JIT 생산방식 : 생산계획(生産計劃)의 수립과 칸반의 운용(運用)

An approach to Just-In-Time for small job-shop-type manufacturers is presented. This is aimed at those who understand the pull production system, however, cannot afford either swift changeover in workcenters or frequent delivery to customers. First, as a production planning technique, a lot-sizing model entitled Multilevel Least Total Cost Model(MLTCM) is developed; The production order quantities of each components be those requiremensts of the end item production lot. The contribution of MLTCM is shown via simulation. Then, a framework of the Kanban operations is designed; A Production Control Kanban is introduced as a communication tool with Production Kanban in a job-shop.
