Performance Analysis of a Serial Production Line Based on Just in-Time Phylosophy Using Simulation Technique

In the literature, it is assumed that the orders are made of a single type of product in a just-in-time production system. In this study, contrary to the literature, the production system in which orders can contain different product information is studied. A serial production line system working with kanban cards is modeled using the SIMAN language under various assumptions. Three different experiment clusters are designed by determining various factors. The effects of changes in factors are observed with these experimental clusters. Different performance measures are identified to observe the effect of change in factors. Findings of experimental results are reported
