KAnBAN allocation in a serial suply chainKeywords: discrete systems, just in time, kanban, lean production, queue systems. Abstract: the aim of this project is to simulate a kanban system using n stages with the objective of maintaining an acceptable throughput and mean system time. the document shows the production systems where kanban is applicable and what the potential benefits are. a serial of simulations will be done using a demand given by a poison distribution with rate λ ∧ ext. the simulation aimed to find the best number of withdrawal kanban on all n stages when the values of μ (for exponential distribution of the process) and λ ∧ ext increase and decrease. at the end of this simulation, the best way to allocate the withdrawal kanban over n stages with the objective of maintaining acceptable throughput and mean system time will be clearer thus the conclusions of this work will be done.
