This paper is intended to propose what manufacturing configuration (manufacturing planning and shop floor control) is suitable for the tire industry. Basically tire-manufacturing process is mixed-products, parallel-disconnected-flow-shop. Both throughput time and cycle tine are very short, the variety of tires is very high, the setup time is long, shop floor data reporting requirements is high, and there are many equipments and people working. And with no exception, tire industry also now confronts increasing requirements of delivery conformance with the above peculiar characteristics of tire manufacturing and changing market environments, this paper suggests, weekly master scheduling with no MRP is desirable and traditional kanban is right selection for shop floor control/scheduling. This paper describes why this configuration should be, using the manufacturing engineering principles and some new insights like four primitives of parallel flow shop. Generally known that shop with high parallel-product-mix and long setup time isn't good candidate for kanban. The four primitives of parallel flow shop explain why kanban is also useful scheduling technique in that environment.

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.

Just-In-Time production is to keep the kanban system. When production managers implement and operate successfully the system in the multi-Line, multi-stage production setting, it is very important to determine the number of kanbans in deterministic kanban system under consideration with relevant factors as well as with cost. In concrete, we discuss about following factors in kanban system and provide a model formulating the multi-objective goal programming : Demand, stock on hand in process, Inventory cost and Labor cost, Vendor's suppling capacity, Work Load. Finally we analyze several numerical examples in order to test the model and attempt to expand the model in general case.

The efficient quality assurance system to prevent mixed assembly in introduced in this paper, It supports JIT(Just-In-Time) based Kanban and demand pull system. A new system is designed for the synchronized production and quality assurance using barcode and production kanban card, And the performance improvement method for the stable and fast response of the proposed system is suggested in this paper also. As the result of the proposed system, we improved production status visibility and quality traceability.

The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of container size with multi-stage and multi-item on average inventory and customer service level in Kanban systems. We use the different distributions of demand and interarrival time for each item to show that we had better to change the container size depending on different type of item for this simulation study. The small lot size can be used for container size of a single item if there is no setup time. The container size should be identical with average order size as setup time increases. The fill rate increases if the container size is large with multi-item. However, it is difficult to establish the effective container size because the effects of the container size on the order queue time are not clear. It is suitable to use the average order size as the container size for each item if the variance of demand and interarrival time of each item is relatively small. It is effective to sue the average container size if the variance of them is relatively large.

In footwear manufacturing systems, the upper parts of the shoes are manually sewed on a sub-line while bottom parts are produced by machines such as injection and molding machines on a sub-line before these two parts are combined into complete shoes on a final assembly line. The manual operations for the upper parts lead to a large variability in processing times, resulting in higher work-in-process inventory. In most footwear industries, production lines have been controlled by MRP-based push systems. Some industries attempt to introduce Kanban-based pull systems. This paper identifies the characteristics of the footwear manufacturing processes, and discusses the problems of the current control systems. As an operational alternative, a CONWIP-based control strategy is presented. Simulation experiments are performed to examine the performance of the control strategies.

This paper presents a new generic Petri net model for design and performance evaluation of a flexible assembly system with dual kanban. The architectural design of the model is derived from a generic bill of materials and the combination of FMS and FAS concepts. Two approaches for analysis and performance evaluation of the new model base on the theory of invariant analysis and linear programming are also introduced. Finally, the effect of different processing times between FMS-FAS on the number of kanban cards is investigated.

Many IT organizations aspire to improve the efficiency and general standard of their software development effort by implementing agile software development practices. Some of the popular agile development methods adopted by IT organizations are Scrum, eXtreme Programming (XP), Kanban, Featured Driven Development (FDD) and Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM). This paper intends to identify and analyze the barriers that impact on the performance of IT organizations that use such agile software development methods. The analysis will help the IT organizations to cater the needed aspects to be successful. The analysis will also help the IT organizations to select the right methodology for their organization. The contribution of this analysis is to present guideline related to avoid or overcome the barriers towards adoption of agile.

The aim of the study is to combine software reuse with agile methods through reuse in the early stage of agile development. Although agile methods and software reuse have different practices and principles, these methods have common goals, such as reducing development time and costs and improving productivity. Both approaches are expected to serve as viable solutions to the demand for fast development or embracing requirement changes in the rapidly changing environments. In the present paper, we identify economical agile reuse and its type and study a reuse technique for input queue in Kanban board at the early stage of hybrid agile methods. Based on our results, we can integrate software reuse with agile methods by backlog factoring for input queue item in the hybrid Scrum and Kanban method. The proposed technique can be effectively applied to e-class applications and can reuse the input queue items, showing the combination of the two approaches. With this study, we intend to contribute to reuse in the early stage of agile development. In the future, we plan to develop a software tool for economical agile reuse.
