Abstract

In this paper we study a mathematical programming model for the single-card KANBAN system in a multi-stage capacitated general-type-structure production. Until now this production type setting has not been studied. The modeling of this problem results in a complex integer programming which can be modified to the more simple integer programming model. We present a heuristic method and some numerical examples. Though the presented method doesn't always find an optimal solution, this method guarantees to find a feasible solution. We expect this work to be practised in the real fields.
