Simulating the impact of kanbans in a multiple reentrant manufacturing system

A reentrant manufacturing system (RMS) is a system where this sequence of operations is repeated several times before the jobs are completed. This made the system difficult to manage as jobs entering a particular resource could be at different job states. Hence, in managing the WIP in the system, th...

A reentrant manufacturing system (RMS) is a system where this sequence of operations is repeated several times before the jobs are completed.

Hence, in managing the WIP in the system, the decision is not only to determine which among the jobs queued to feed next as consideration of job states is also important. When these jobs are not prioritized appropriately, the system produces large amount of work-in-process (WIP) which leads to longer cycle time and poor throughput performance. This study aimed to explore the use of pull system through kanbans in managing of WIP and throughput of reentrant manufacturing systems and compared typical scheduling and control mechanisms that are associated to push and push-pull strategies.

A simulation model was developed to examine the impact of kanban in the throughput and WIP performance of RMS. Comparing Kanban system to the traditional push and the push-pull strategies, the proposed system was able to show improvement in both throughput and WIP performance of an RMS.
