We summarize the model structures, decision variables, performance measures and assumptions in a tabular format. It is important to state that there is a significant relationship between the design parameters, such as the number of kanbans and kanban sizes, and the scheduling decisions in a multi-item, multi-stage, multi-horizon kanban system. An experimental design is developed to evaluate the impact of operational issues, such as sequencing rules and actual lead times on the design parameters.EnglishComputer integrated manufacturingComputer simulationControl systemsData processingSchedulingSmart cardsKanban systemsManufacturing systemsJust in time productionArticle10.1080/002075499189808
