Integrating Kanban Control with Advance Demand Information: Insights from an Analytical Model

  • Conference paper

Abstract

This paper investigates the benefits of integration of advance demand information (ADI) with the Kanban Control System (KCS). ADI shared by customers is integrated into production release policies thereby enabling simultaneous improvements in service levels and reductions in inventory and costs. Under Markovian assumptions, an exact analysis of the production system is carried out. Through numerical studies, the system performance is compared to those obtained from classical Kanban control system and base stock system with ADI.
